Last night my computer starting going into infinite boot loop the moment the power button is pressed. It does not even reach the POST screen & happens within 2 secs of restart. My Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4 motherboard & Intel 2500k CPU are 6 years old. In the last boot before all this started happening, my PC was stuck on the POST screen with NO memory info. The only info was the Intel 2500K CPU. I had to


    press the Del button to goto CMOS.
    exit the CMOS without saving anything.



Then the PC had rebooted but it was too slow & it again got stuck at the Windows 10 blue logo. After manually restarting the infinite 2 secs reboot loop started happening. To me it seems like the memory controller on the board has gone bad because last year I my motherboard was not acting friendly with the G Skill 1866MHz ram & tried to force the 1333Mhz on it causing some reboot loops. I had to solve those by manually changing some timing info in bios. I tried replacing the RAM with 1333MHz sticks but nothing so far.

What do you guys believe could be the culprit?
 
1| Are you on the latest BIOS revision? Not liking rams can be that the BIOS doesn't like it or your slots are very picky.
2| Your thread title says it's solved, yet your thread body doesn't hold a solution.

FYI, since signature spaces change it's a good idea to have your specs listed in the body of the post(and make this thread relevant in the future).
