overview for dotCody

EDIT: ended up being 1 faulty ram stick, 1 (supposedly) bad psu, an overcooked cpu, a dead aio cooler and (potentially) a faulty psu. Thanks Linux bros.

I did the memtest. Figured out 1 out of 4 ram sticks are bad and sent it out on an RMA. Took the whole rig to a local shop and he load tested the PSU. It failed twice. He recommended I replace the PSU then the motherboard if I still had issues. So I replaced the PSU with a new unit, still the exact same issues. So I replaced the motherboard with a used one. Still the exact same issues. I updated the BIOS. Same issues but a new, more red Asus logo (yay).

I still cannot, for the love of AntiChrist, boot the thing. At. All. Not even from a usb. Attempting to fresh install windows and i have zero input from any devices.

I am at my wits end and I need my PC back up and running.

Linux bros blocked immediately.

It's wild to see people in real time learning that war is bad and civilians die a lot. As if contemporary wars are the only ones that have had mass civilian casualties. Shit is horrific always. in c/showerthoughts@lemmy.world

I reset the BIOS. I reset the CMOS. I replaced the CMOS. No IDE option in my bios. Thing gets stuck on automatic repair - ill leave it on for hours and nothing.

I removed all additional HDDs and SSDs. I pulled the C drive and backed up the important data. Pulled the GPU and checked it real good. All of the ram as well.

I had gotten a BSOD with the "PNP Driver Watchdog" error. Google is unhelpful as anyone with this BSOD never received nor confirmed a working remedy or solution.

Now, after days of trying I am very rarely able to get to the Windows Install window from my USB. But none of my mice or keyboards work. They'll work briefly for a few seconds and then stop. Nothing works to get them going again forcing me to shut down yet again.

Only thing I can think of is an unplanned and unannounced power shut off while I was out. Less than a week later my PC is pulling this shit. Refusing to boot.

Im ready to take it to a stupid pc repair shop... which im very hesitant on doing as I built this thing. Not to mention I dont like the thought of transporting this huge and heavy thing.

I dont know what to do. It won't boot at all now. Just gets stuck on the asus logo. Bad motherboard perhaps? How could I check? Buy a new motherboard and hope it fixes the issue?

Just started today. Was able to let it automatic repair and boot up. Was on for like 10 hours, shut down and tried to boot up some hours later. Now its completely stuck on automatic repair. Have unplugged all additional hdd's and then all unnesscarry USB's. Still doing this. Also removed my ethernet card. Still the same.

I cannot lose my data. I have several SSD's and HDD's with important files across several of them.
