Hello, I've been using this Pc build for about 2 months:
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-AB350-Gaming ATX AM4
Cpu: Ryzen 5 1600x
Memory: G.Skill - Trident Z (2x8GB) DDR4-3200
Storage: 960 EVO 250GB M.2-2280 SSD + Seagate Barricuda 2TB 3.5" 7100 RPM internal HDD
Gpu: Geforce GTX 1070 Ti
Psu: Corsair - CX 650W 80+ Bronze ATX
Case: Phatenks P400S ATX
An incident occurred about 3 days ago where when I was pulling up google chrome my pc suddenly shut off and rebooted itself. On boot up it loaded the bios splash screen where I was greeted by a loading animation with the message "Preparing Automatic Repair". A couple seconds of this "loading" and suddenly display, keyboard, and mouse disconnect, but the pc is still on and running confirmed by fans and leds. No matter how long I leave the pc running at this point the display and peripherals remain disconnected not picking up signals or turning on leds. I figured either a part just kicked the bucket or updates/drivers were corrupted. After turning the pc off the first thing I did was double check all wiring, even though the pc has been running fine up to this point. Nothing seemed out of place. Next I decided to go down the list and try to boot with certain parts unplugged to see if I could find a bad part.
Unplugged:
HDD = same result : boots bios, into loading animation, everything disconnects but pc is still running
SSD = same result : boots bios, into loading animation, everything disconnects but pc is still running
Case = same result : boots bios, into loading animation, everything disconnects but pc is still running
ALL RAM COMBINATIONS (4 slots, 2 sticks) = same result : boots bios, into loading animation, everything disconnects but pc is still running
Out of parts to test I decide to look for a safe mode or repair mode to boot into. Now with most pc's you can just spam F8, F12, Delete or whatever on start up to boot into said safe mode. Of course my life can't be that easy as my mobo does not have any shortcut key to boot into safe mode with #EffYouGigabyte. (I also tried getting into recovery mode by force shutting off after POST 3x = same result : boots bios, into loading animation, everything disconnects but pc is still running)
Next I reset the CMOS, and load the optimized defaults in bios = same result : boots bios, into loading animation, everything disconnects but pc is still running
(Note: I have fast boot disabled and have manually put in ram timings at this point)
Next I downloaded a Windows 10 64bit ISO to a USB, change boot option #1 to said USB and try reinstall Windows or get into repair mode = same result : boots bios, into loading animation, everything disconnects but pc is still running.
Next I downloaded the most recent drivers for my mobo and updated my bios with a USB using Q-Flash = same result : boots bios, into loading animation, everything disconnects but pc is still running.
I've tried everything I could think of and could really use some help and insight on finding a solution to my predicament.
