for the past month or two my PC has been dead, my previous motherboard's VRM (to my knowledge, i couldnt see exactly where it came from at the time) sparked in my face and that motherboard is now dead
now the good part from this is recently ive was given a old computer by a friend which i salvaged the CPU and motherboard from, an i7-4790k and a Gigabyte GA-Z97M-D3H, not new parts by any means but it should keep me going a year or two until I can get a new Ryzen or whatever
now the bad part is i thought it was gonna be a case of drop in my GPU, new Windows install, drivers and im done, but ive not even been able to install my GPU as theres a problem
after booting it presents the POST screen but itll never go past it as straight after it'll just restart, ive spammed the absolute fuck out the DEL and F9 key to try and get into the BIOS but the moment it goes past that screen it just reboots and even worse if i remove all drives from the computer it just gets stuck in a constant boot loop without even POSTing
ive reset the CMOS in case it was some sort of setting causing it but that hasnt changed anything and ive run out of ideas as not being able to even access BIOS leaves me without any ideas on what the fuck to do
i was gonna get a friend who is far better with computers than me to help me figure this out but hes been a no show and not being able to play Payday and Killing Floor is starting to get to me
help me Nebulous, youre my only hope
