Hi all.
I have a self built system with some upgraded parts but the motherboard and cpu are original.
Intel i5-661 Lga1156
Maximus Extreme 3 Rog Motherboard.
Gigabyte B700h Ps
8gb Ram. Corsair XMS3 X 4.
Windows 7 home prem Os.
I recently came by some new RAM and tried to upgrade it. Corsair Vengeance 1600mh 16gb. 2 - 4gb packs.
Tried using only 1 new stick in the main slot, then 2 and so on, but could not get past the loading screen but coukd not enter Bios by pressing Del or Tab.
I replaced the old Ram and system worked fine.
I then cleared the Cmos and replaced Cmos battery with same new volt and number battery, and now the computer seems to be in a startup loop, where all 3 fans and motherboard lights with no warning tones for approx 1 to 2 secs then restarts in a continuous loop.
I unplugged all power for 12 hrs, removed cmos batt again and reset with Cmos pins, and tried starting without Gpu, and 1 through 4 sticks of the old Ram.
I fear i may have bricked my motherboard some how.
Any assistance appreciated.
