Hello!
Last night I went to sleep with my PC working fine (I played with my friends, no problems) today I woke up, tried to turn on my PC and nothing comes up! I looked at the mobo and there I found the damn red light on the CPU. I already followed the list of steps to follow if I get no POST and cleared the CMOS. I'm pointing to a faulty board, anything else I need to try?

i5 6500
H170A PC Mate
8 gb RAM dual sticks
GTX 760
1 ssd and 1 hdd

EDIT: I forgot to update this thread for a long long time. I sent the motherboard to RMA and apparently I bricked it. Everything is running fine since then! Thanks :)
 


I think I might have another one to test
 


Try that and get back to me.

If you have a spare CMOS battery, swap that out too if possible.
 


Hello! Tried another PSU and the outcome is still the same. Don't have a spare CMOS battery to test.
Mobo to RMA?
