Hi there please give me your 10 cents about this issue it's pretty confusing but I'll try and explain as best I can as my English is not perfect.
PC specs: old i7 3770
Gigabyte: GA-H61M-S2PV
Ram: 2 x 4gb g.Skill 1600mhz
Raidmax 650w psu
Gtx 1080 8gb
1tb ssd
1tb hdd
3 x 120mm fans
So last week I turned on my pc and it showed the bios screen then it reset... After auto reseting it did not display again. There is a weird ticking noise coming from the installed speaker. There was also no lightning or power spikes that I know of. I also did not smell any burning, I figured something must have crapped so I went about testing.
I reset all the wires checked for shorts reset the ram and cpu but it stayed the same.
I then started swoping out parts. I started with ram to no success, then I tried both my spare cpu's without success.
I figured it must be the mobo as the psu was only about 2 weeks old.
I managed to obtain 2 lga 1155 mobo and tought it is now an easy fix. I installed the gigabyte GA-B75-D3H with the 3770 and the g.Skill ram and started the pc....... Suprize it does the same as the old mobo.... So then I think.. oooo crap could it really have been the cpu.. So installed a 3240 again and still did the same. I removed the mobo and ran it on a boks outside the pc with the onboard graphics with only the ssd. Still did the same. So once again I changed the ram and everything was working fine.
Now I am thinking that maybe my old mobo was fine and somehow I stuffed up when I did the ram problem finding. So I put back the 3770 with the new ram and pc once again boots up to windows etc after idling for 1 hour I switched it of... When powering on again pc is doing the same not posting and weird ticking noise from speaker. After testing parts again I find that the new ram is now also damaged can it be the cpu or psu or what i really don't know anymore. I did test the original mobo again and with other new ram(3rd pair now) it goes to bios but then restarts and carries on like that.
Think my option is to 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
So long story short I now have 2 broken pairs of ram a busted mobo... I'm to scared to use the 3770 as I don't know if it could be the reason why the ram is being damaged(as far as I know it can't be possible) or could it be that the brand new psu is to blame 😬
So I build a complete new pc only carried over the i7 3770, gpu, hhd & ssd as well as the cpu cooler at first all was working fine after 2 hours gaming I switched of and when switching on ram was damaged again😭 so I figured it must be the cpu I swooped out the cpu and repeated the process... Another pair of ram sticks damaged.... So I'm left with it has to be the gpu the hhd or ssd or cpu cooler I really don't know anymore.
If I try booting with any of the ram sticks that has been damaged the pc is stuck in an endless loop of starting up and restarting without any beeps.
Thanks for any and all input.
