Mother board GA-Z170-HD3P dies
« on: February 19, 2016, 02:07:48 pm »
Ok so i bought the GA-Z170-HD3P and installed the intel core i7-6700k, with 2 G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 8GB sticks of ram, 1 ssd and 1 1T harddrive, along with the cd drive and a wlan card and a cs750m psu. The computer worked well for 4 days and one day i was playing games, took a break and when i came back the screen was black and the comp was unresponsive, i turned the comp off and back on, it powered up but nothing showed. I turned it off again and it wouldnt turn back on. I replaced the motherboard and it worked but the same incident reoccured. I replaced the motherboard a third time, it worked 2 days and on the 3rd, the same thing reoccured. What is causing my motherboard to die?

No it has hibernated before or went into sleep mode and turnes back on when i moved the mouse. I havent reset the bios but coule the bios prevent the motherboard turning on? And if it Is the bios, would it make sensé for the comp to work once i change the motherboard??
