Good afternoon; I gave my son my old system (upgraded mine and built him with a few new parts) I loaded the OS just fine, even played a few games with him yesterday. Last night I moved the system to his room (completely uneventful). This morning I fired it up and the comp would Post, splash the bios screen then restart. It did this in an infinite loop.
here is everything I have tried and the result
cleared cmos (the right way) still looped post
Pulled each stick of ram and loaded each one singularly one by one, still looped
tried to fix windows with Windows media on usb, seemed like it couldn’t find windows.
chose fresh install, computer rebooted into post loop.
busted out cd of Windows, was able to install a fresh copy of windows.
because the disk is ancient, no drivers for the wireless card installed
try to update version of windows using Windows Media........ computer restarts and post loops again (mind you before trying to update the OS I was able to boot into windows multiple times)
install a different drive, try installing windows fresh from usb...... infinite post loop.
try to install windows from cd, I get a windows splash, blinking cursor in upper left corner, then the pc restarts and try’s the process all over again.
pull all components sans drive, one stick of ram (and I have tried each of the 4 sticks) and cpu. Computer post loops if I try installing from flash drive, and just cycles between trying to start windows install and rebooting when I use the CD.
At this point I suspect the Mobo, but I don’t know. Any suggestions are welcomed. Here are my specs
gigabyte Ga-ab350
ryzen 7 (1700 if I remember correctly)
2 sticks hyperx 3200 dd4
2 sticks evga 3200 dd4
WD 2Tb
(The backup drive I tried was a WD 1 Tb)
GeForce Rtx 1050ti
