I'm pretty much at the point that the motherboard is dead. I've been in pc gaming for over 10+ years and I'm just not having fun or feeling comfortable fidiling with PC parts. I'm probably gonna see about getting a new motherboard and have it installed by a professional. Other than that. I appreciate all the help but I'm cutting my losses. Thank you all.
