So, I have a black screen with a solid underscore on the left hand side (not flashing.) I cannot find any information on this so ill give a quick run down.
I was playing halo and its started to get super choppy. It crashed and gave me the BSOD SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION. I turned it back on and it ran well for about 20 minutes and it happened again.
After that I went through updating all drivers and bios. Didnt make it all the way through.
After that it pretty much crashed for good. I've been able to get to the bios maybe 3 times over 7 hours. Most of the time ot will just be that black screen with the SOLID white underscore.
I have:
Cleaned the ram.
Tried using one ram stick for boot up with each stick, no changes.
Reseated the CPU to check for dirt or damages. Fine.
Unplugged my gpu. I don't have onboard graphics so I couldn't see anything but the indicator light on the motherboard were repeating exactly what they had been for hours.
Pulled the NVME boot drive and it booted perfectly in my Alienware laptop. Uplugged storage drives.
Reset bios via cmos battery.
Without NVME it says I need to add a boot drive so I know I'm pulling the right boot drive.
I have restarted after every single step mention here with the same outcome.
The only thing I can think of is it being my MOBO. All lights are on, fans rotating, no beeps etc. PSU is fine.
What is weird is I can't find any information on this specific (seemingly catastrophic) type of failure.
Any help would be appreciated.
