Hi all,
I've got a boot issue with my HTPC. It would get stuck (or freeze, I can't tell) at the POST splash screen. It would not respond to any keyboard commands either so I cannot enter the BIOS page. There are no error beeps either. It wouldn't boot from a USB stick either (BIOS is either not set to boot from USB or it's a different issue).
I'm suspecting a hardware failure at this point. It could be either the CPU, RAM or motherboard. I disconnected the SSD&HDD from the system and still encounter the same issue so I have ruled those out. I have no spare parts to test with unfortunately so I'm hoping someone could pinpoint what are the typical causes of this issue? Specs below:
Intel Core i5-760
Gigabyte GA-H55M-USB3
Sapphire HD7870
Crucial M4 128GB + 500GB HDD
Silverstone GD05
Corsair VX-450 (PSU)
4 x 2GB Kingston DDR3
All running at stock BIOS settings.
I appreciate your help and input on this. Thanks in advance.
