Sooo I recently rebuilt my gaming computer. I will describe the guts of my computer:
MSI z390 Pro A Mothetboard
EVGA 1080 FTW2 GPU
i5-9600k CPU
2 sticks of 8GB ripjaws 3600mz
1 500GB SSD EVO Samsung (this is the only original piece from a previous build, its 5 years old. This is where my OS is)
1 M2 500GB (this is just my D: drive with spare game installs.)
Sooo I get all my parts in and slap it together.. about 2 weeks into the build the computer wont boot anymore. After some help with tech support theyre saying it could be a dead mobo.. so I sent it back for a new one.. get it back and now the computer doesnt get past the boot screen. I can get into BIoS and it detects everything, but it doesnt get past the boot icon (motherboard icon). I dont get the spinning circle at all. Just sits there.
things I have tried..
one ram stick at a time in RAM slot 2 (2 away from CPU) to see if its faulty ram.
used several cables on SSD drive thinking it could just be the wiring.
removed GPU and put cable into motherboard slot.
tried rebooting with no USBs plugged in.
made sure boot order is correct in bios
Could this just be a corrupt SSD that cant get to windows? I have exhausted all personal knowledge on this and its beginning to be frustrsting. My previous build was an Asus Rog Maximus Hero mobo, same GPU, i5 6700k cpu with the same SSD and had no issues for 5 years. Now when I switch to the msi motherboard it seems ive had nothing but issues. Please halp!
