Specs (no overclocking done):
OS: Win 10 Pro 64 bit
Mobo: ASUS Maximus IX Hero running BIOS 1009
CPU: Intel i7-7700k
Cooler: NZXT Kraken X62
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX 1080 FTW
RAM: 2x8GB Corsair Vengeance DDR4 2133MHz
SSD: Samsung 850 EVO 500GB
HDD: WD 2TB 7200rpm
So for the last week or so my pc has been stuck in an infinite BSOD loop showing stop code ACPI_BIOS_ERROR and rarely PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA. It's so bad that I can't even boot with any of the safe mode options or use system repair, they all bsod too. It initially happened in the middle of a game where windows gave a blue screen saying that it had to restart and it hasn't been able to boot since then. I'm 99% certain this is a hardware issue at this point and I've all but narrowed it down to a bad mobo or CPU, but I need help figuring out which one it actually is. I've done a quite a bit of troubleshooting but none of it is resolving the loop. So far I've...
-Updated BIOS to the latest version (1009)
-Cleared CMOS
-Reset BIOS to factory settings
-Made sure everything was seated and connected properly
-Thoroughly ran memtest86, RAM is good. I let it go for 8 passes with both sticks in and 8 passes on individual sticks in every slot, no issues found.
-Disconnected HDD, wiped SSD and tried a clean install of windows - boot manager loads some files and then it bsods. Doesn't even make it to the initial install screen. I've tried installing windows 10 with 3 different USBs and tried in 2.0 and 3.0 ports. All the ports work but the install doesn't.
-Tried installing win 7 from a disc - same behavior as 10. Loads the initial files and then bsods.
-Disconnected GPU and hooked up an hdmi, no change.
The mobo is giving the all good code and BIOS is working 100%, but as soon as I try to do anything with an operating system it just bsods over and over again. This is making me err on the side of a bad cpu but I'd like to get other opinions before I go about getting a new one. Thanks.
Edit: Yup, looks like it's the board after all. Socket has quite a few pins bent out of place. No idea how it even happened but thanks for the help.
