Hi everyone , maybe you can give me some advice here.
Let me start with explaining the issue I'm having.
I was playing a game and streaming a show at the same time and my computer just completely froze up out of nowhere (first time it's ever just froze). So I shut down and restart, windows loads up fine I go to click on my browser and it freezes completely again. I try again to restart and now I can only get into bios (i can sit in bios for as long as I want but cannot load windows without it freezing up.
First I've tried unplugging my SSD and trying to boot with a USB stick with windows installed on it...I see windows logo and then bam it freezes.
I then tried a new stick of ram, same problem freezes
I unplug my graphics card and boot with video out from motherboard. Freezes.
I replace PSU with new PSU . Freezes.
I believe I've narrowed it down to either mobo or cpu. But I'm afraid to spend more money because things are gonna get expensive now.
Any ideas what it could be? anything else to try ? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
