Hey everyone, I'm completely stumped and could use some help. Out of no where, today when turning on the computer, it started an infinity boot loop. It wouldn't even load codes on the motherboard and would just turn the fans on for a second and then shut off, turn back on and repeat.
I got a new battery for CMOS thinking it could be that. It now loads for a few more seconds before restarting. I thought it might be the video card because I've read where other people had the same issue, so I went out and bought a new card. Now here is whats happening.
I tried to load different bios's.
Bios 1- (No graphics card installed) - loads windows using onboard graphics fine.
Bios 2- (No graphics card installed) - infinity loop
Bios 3- (No graphics card installed)- infinity loop
Add the brand new card to slot 1 - Bios 1 - Boots to code AE and then hangs ( AEBoot to Legacy OS ) - no monitor display, monitor acts as if no information being fed and goes to standby (tried other PCIE slots, same thing)
bios 2 - (with card) infinity loop
bios 3 - (with card) infinity loop
Motherboard is a gigabyte G1 Sniper 3 , graphics and everything else compatible just... died randomly when it worked fine yesterday. Tried flashing bios, didnt work.
I am 100% stumped. Any ideas?
Edit: finally ended up figuring it out. Ty everyone for your suggestions! Ended up being a corrupted bios. Put a new bios on a stick, installed it and worked perfectly.
