I built this in Sept 2023 and haven’t had 1 issue until now.

I had just got done raiding in WoW and stepped away for maybe 20 min. When I returned to my PC I had a frozen pixelated screen on main monitor and no signal on second monitor. I also had no power to keyboard or mouse. I tried restarting from front panel but the switch wouldn’t work. I switch PSU off and let it sit a few before turning it back on. Lights and fans all come on but no signal to both monitors or mouse and keyboard no matter where I plug them in. Nothing on back panel or front panel.

Things I’ve tried:
I pulled out my video card and put it in my son’s pc and it works fine on his monitors and mine. Today I replaced the PSU with a new one and still same issue.
I removed everything from motherboard besides power and Q flashed most current bios off of a usb stick. FGG bios from March of this year. It did nothing. I still have same issue. No signal from vid card and no peripherals. No idea if the motherboard is even posting. No extra lights or sounds coming from board. I feel the pump running and see all cooler fans running.
My CPU has never run hot and never and signs or warnings of overheating.
Literally walked away from perfect system and returned 20 min later to issue.
CMOS battery on multimeter reads 2.86v

Any ideas?

did you reset the BIOS by jumper yet?
was the bios update successful? blinking light then reboot?
Not by jumper but by thumb drive and q flash button. Using most current bios update. Blinking light series and it even kicking on the psu was successful and took around 5 minutes but still same issue. I don’t even know if it’s booting up though..
I get zero output from video card to either monitor so I don’t know if it’s even booting up. Video card is good and tested on another pc twice. Going to try an earlier bios tomorrow.

try clcmos jumper
use minimum setup:
motherboard, cpu with cooler, one ram in slot A2, GPU, video cable in GPU and monitor, keyboard, PSU

eventually outside the case on a non conducting surface
I just jumped the clcmos as well as tried the vertical battery ground and only thing that changed was as soon as I power up the psu my ram rgb lights up now but still no bios screen or windows when I turn system on. No signal to monitors and still no peripherals.
 
I’ll try cycling through them again. 4 sticks.
If I remove my two M.2 SSD’s and ram I should be still booting up in bios though shouldn’t I?
