Hi,
This morning when I turned on my PC, it went into Windows Automatic Recovery, then powered off and crashed during normal Windows 10 loading screen (right at the end).
The PC was booting fine yesterday. The only thing of note that happened was an abrupt power cut midday yesterday. I did also change my case and CPU cooler 2 months ago but it has been fine right up until today
I disconnected everything except:
Motherboard (Gigabyte Z99 SLI)
CPU (Intel i7 5820k)
RAM (4x 4Gb Corsair Vengeance)
GPU (Gigabyte 2080Ti)
CD drive
Then tried to boot from a Windows CD and it crashes at the same place, right at the end of the Windows loading (with the spinning dots).
I've tried pulling CMOS battery
I've updated BIOS
I've tried multiple combos of RAM (including all 4 sticks individually and in pairs)
I've tried a different GPU
All cause the same crash.
I then created a Ubuntu bootable USB, it asked me to install Ubuntu or start in Live mode and after making a selection, black screen and nothing.
My guess is it's either CPU or motherboard at this point.
I can get to BIOS which displays memory and CPU as expected.
Any ideas how I should proceed to work out the cause? I've not got another CPU and/or montherboard with the same socket to test switching either out.
Any help or suggestions would be awesome,
Thanks
