Gigabyte G1 sniper Z97 not booting, error codes, shuts down and starts over and over

[WWP]

Hello,

My rig isn't working anymore, it shuts down and boot-up again, but it doesn't get into the booting mode completely.

It gives error codes, I disconnected everything, except the CPU and the cooler .. same results.

I know either the CPU or the motherboard is broken, but can't be sure which one.

Here's my video on YouTube:

If the motherboard is the one which is broken, then how about this MB from Aliexpress?

Any idea of what could be the problem? Thanks,

"db" code is flash update is failed.
Reset BIOS settings with onboard jumper. May need to replace BIOS battery also.

I hope you're right

How to reset the BIOS? I cleared the CMOS. When the rig is off, I disconnected the PSU and pushed this button until there's no more power on the MB and switched it ON again but the same problem.

I think you mean by resetting the BIOS is something else.

Read your motherboard manual.

There are 2 options to clear BIOS settings - CMOS_SW button and CLR_CMOS jumper. You can use any of those.

Oh .. if that's how I reset the BIOS, then I tried that before couple times. The same result!

As you mentioned "db" means BIOS problem, could it be something else? Maybe the MB is actually broken. Let me try now one more time:

So, how it's done, is that I put some power ON and then I disconnect the power and push this button until there's no more power in the MB, am I correct?

Thank you so much I cleared the CMOS until there's no more power and switched the MB again and it worked!

Maybe the last time I didn't clear it completely.

It works now I'm so happy. Really thanks,
