I was on my pc editing done stuff when the entire thing freezes nothing is responding so I have to turn it off hard by holding the power button and now it won't post the little led on the bottom of the board shows a bunch of error codes. I've only just finished this damn thing. The board is a ax370 gaming k7
 


No the RGB lights on the mobo don't turn on and it doesn't post or boot into bios
 
What psu helped you out or did you misclick best solution?

Make sure that the 2 main cables from your PSU are connected to the slots. One beeing the motherboard the largest one and the other 2nd largest one for the CPU. Located just above the CPU.
 


The computer was posting and everything before I was playing games on it and then it froze I had to hard shut it down and it won't turn on now
 
Does any activity occur when you press the start button? If you can hear any case fan rotating or harddrive running, feel with your hands as they tend to vibrate.

Get the manual for your motherboard and check out the led lamps. They can display an errror by blinking or constantly glowing. Different colors for different components. Or is it still pitch black?
 

The ram lights up add well as the gpu and the case fans the water cooler lights up too ALL the fans spin on like full power even the gpu ones everything turns on except the RGB lights on the mobo and then the little thing at the bottom of the mobo displays a bunch of combinations of numbers and letters that are codes and half of them are error codes
 
Write down those error codes and post them here. Make a Google search about those codes by your own and check if they tell you anything. I have not got much time and I hate error codes... It is likely another professional here must help you.

You dont get any picture at all? Not even BIOS? What can you see on the screen, nothing?
 


Oh I know what some of the error codes are our just it changes so quick I can't tell all of them and absolutely nothing displays
 
You can't film the display with your camera phone and watch the record and pause for each code in order to write it down?

The manual could contain some error codes that could give you some help. Were you playing when the computer froze and siezed to start up? Did you play anything heavy risking to overheat your GPU resulting in this freeze/crash?

Or did you tamper with OS files?

As long as you were not tampering with any hardware it is quite hard to tell why you wouldn't get any picture. RAM is known for beeing faulty as example when not recieving picture but RAM doesn't die just like that.

Is the CPU fan running and is it attatched to CPU? If it all of a sudden is lose/doesn't sit as tight as it should it could be one reason. But atleast you would have picture for a couple of seconds, not for long but before BIOS arrives.

If you could be more specific about what exactly you were doing when the pc froze. What programs and games were you running? How has the temperature been when computer was idle and what temp did you have while gaming, especially the heavier games.

Do you have an embedded GPU in your motherboard? Try plugging your monitor to that port and see if you atleast can get picture.

Is it an AMD GPU or Nvidia?
 


I could do that, the manual does contain things about the error codes, I've overclocked my cpu and gpu and both seemed stable after testing both, when the pc froze I was changing the lights on the motherboard to fit better with the rest of the lights in the case when everything froze up and the temps I believe were normal
