I got a BSOD (DPC watchdog violation), so I powered the system down
When I launched it again it got into a bootloop every 5-10 secs during of which the system would boot into BIOS with not a single piece of data showing and then restarting.
I have tried:
Reseated RAM
Removed HDD
Tried a diff PSU
Tried a diff CMOS battery
Finally bread boarding
Reset CMOS And booting with a usb
None of which worked.
- Mobo: GA-H81M-S2PH
- RAM: (single stick) DDR3 4GB
- CPU: pentium 4th gen G3220 (3.0 GHZ)
- HDD: Samsung (don't remember the rest)
I think something wiped the BIOS. My fans work just fine so it's not an overheat, the cables are all firmly placed and I tried most stuff in all sticky (s).
I think I have tried most of the bootloop fixer except a BIOS installation, trying another Mobo with same CPU and vice-versa, lastly I can't resort to buying a new hardware piece of any kind right now (low on budget).
