Hi All.
First time posting!
I have a huge problem with my gaming PC. I have scoured to the far corners of the internet and tried everything possible to troubleshoot. I usually do not post asking for help as i can usually find my answer but this time i am at my wits end! I have concluded that this must be something to do with this motherboard.
I fairly recently bought.
MSI Z270 Gaming M7
Intel i7700k
Cosair Vengeance 2400mhz 1 x 16gb
From this day i have been having various issue, most of which are recurring. I am in desperate need of help!
My Set Up.
MB - MSI Z270 Gaming M7
CPU - Intel i7700k
CPU Fan - HyperX 212
RAM - Cosair Vengeance 2400mhz 1 x 16gb
HDD - 2TB HDD
PSU - Corsair RM850i
The Problems
Random Screen Crashes - This is the most frequent. Completely unresponsive and sometimes the graphics screw up and loud noise if speakers are on. Appeared to be GPU related
Not Booting - All lights and fans are running but Keyboard, mouse and monitor not working - Usually Mobo error 55
Random restarts - This was happening as often as the crashes but now much less frequent.
Crashes happen in BIOS.
Always seem completely random and not related to anything i am doing on the PC.
What I've tried
New PSU - I upgraded from 600W (bronze) to 850W (gold)
Tested without GPU
Tested without all optical drives
Moved RAM in each slot
Tested RAM with windows test
Reseated CPU Heatsink
Checked CPU pins are not bent
Updated BIOS
Checked CPU Temps
Reapplied thermal paste
Intel CPU diagnostics test
Turned XMP on
Cleared CMOS and removed battery
Removed C-states
Rebuilt the whole thing about 5 times
Cleaned RAM contacts with eraser
Havent tried
A different RAM Stick
Same Compo's in new motherboard
A different CPU
ANY HELP WOULD BE EXTREMELY APPRECIATED!!!
