Decided to update my PC with some more RAM. Purchased the same model as what's currently in there and went from 2 sticks of 8Gb to 4. Updated BIOS along the way as would originally read 32Gb but only use 16Gb. PC worked fine for a couple of days, then refused to boot one morning.
Solid VGA light on the EZDebug panel. No POST, or image to either of my monitors. No difference if GPU plugged into the lower PCIE slot . Checked and changed power cables. Removed CMOS battery and linked jumpers. Removed and checked RAM in each solt seperately and together. Nada.
Assumed GPU had bricked, unable to test in another PC so ordered a replacement. Same issue with the new card. Now assuming possibly the motherboard is gone, but would love any other suggestions before I start buying more parts. Specs as below, thanks for any advice.
