[SOLVED] Pc crashed now stuck on Code A0 and cannot enter BIOS

[FSXManu]

Hello

I was watching a Youtube video as always and then my PC made that horrible sound before you get a bluescreen (PC goes brrrr). However I didn't get to see a bluescreen since the PC just shut off and turned back on. But then it was stuck on a black screen with the error Code A6. I've searched the internet and read the Mainboard manual and it said I should press the "Clear CMOS" button at the back.
I'm now still stuck on black screen but the error code says A0 instead of A6. I switched the monitor cables to the mainboard and tried different cables too but no luck.

My Specs are:
Gigabyte Z390 Aorus Master
i9-9900K not Overclocked
ASUS TUF RTX 3080 Ti
multiple SSDs from Samsung and Kingston

tried id with the same result. I know it's not the RAM or the GPU. Tried them in a different PC and worked fine. Also held down the power and reset button without luck

Remove the GPU, reset motherboard BIOS, connect the monitor to the motherboatd and try again.

Did not work either sadly. I have the feeling it‘s the mainboard or the CPU because RAM and GPU work fine.

Disconnect all your storage devices.

Disconnected all 6 of them and still no post or image or anything. But it was a good idea

What brand and model PSU?

What brand and model PSU?

A Corsair AX1600i. It‘s from a previous build that‘s why it is so much wattage

Corsair AX1600i

That's the highest high-end.
Defective CPU is very uncommon, I think it's the motherboard.
