Hi all, After getting my bits into my case it seems something has gone booboo. It ran fine for a couple of days (win10 clean installed from USB boot drive). Shut it down on Thursday. Come back and it was just sitting on the Windows 10 Logo with spinning dots. For 3 hours. I tried doing the F8/F11/F1 to safe mode, no option for it, only to choose another boot device. Only USB devices plugged in were mouse and keyboard, tried without those, nothing still. Tried booting to my USB boot drive - it does the same, then goes to a blue screen with low resolution mouse cursor after about 10 minutes. Sits like that for 4 hours. CTRL+ALT+DEL didn't work on any screens. On the Blue screen win+up showed black screen behind and plshsomething(cannot remember now).exe Now... I did think, maybe it is my hdds, because when I first installed win 10 it hung when i had all my HDDs connected... So I unplugged them from the PSU (Yeah, stupid or should it have been fine? ) - obv. everything was off and PC unplugged from wall. I unplugged the socket from the PSU itself - AX850 so fully modular - and they are on the same line.. Fire it back up... Nothing on the monitor. Fans fire up, etc - monitor is detected (it isn't showing no signal/no connection) - but no screen. Nothing there. I've not used my motherboard to its full capabilities and it has an HDMI port on it, so I tried that too, nothing. Not even sure if it works with my CPU.. but worth a try I guess (tried with and without discrete GPU in). Monitor definitely works as plugged the mac into it. So, start with a bit of a windows prob - and end up with something making me cry... What could be up? Any help on the matter? I don't have any spare parts to try anything with. I've literally opened the side, pulled the plug out of the PSU. and it stopped everything working. tried with it back in, still no dice again. When I put the GPU back in I forgot to put the power connectors on and it did show me the black screen with "PLEASE POWER DOWN AND CONNECT THE PCIe POWER CABLE(S) FOR THIS GRAPHICS CARD" - so reconnected them. But thought, well it knows that and can show it but can't show anything else? eh?? I'm crying!

It's a long shot and I am sure if you did it already and easy to overlook. Did you try re-setting the BIOS to default or press the CMOS button?
I. Am. An. Idiot. Swear I did the cmos button. Guess I didn't do it hard enough. Appears to have done the trick so far at least anyway. Cheers
Just a tip. In future when you unplug the rig etc press the power button a few times. This drains the caps and any power that may still be lurking in the board. Glad you got it sorted though man
