Okay,
I have been messing round with this PC as it stopped working in December.
PC boots fine but has no network or sound. Both are red X in the taskbar.
Device manager shows no issues.
Clicking on network shows no connections and shows options to add a VPN setting.
I have updated to the newest bios & cleared the CMOS.
Tried booting up W10 ISO from USB. It stalls at the splash screen.
Tried refreshing but again this just does nothing.
Selecting advanced start up tools led to a black screen.
Can't get the PC to start in safe mode.
Hanging on restart,requiring a push of the reset button.
specs.
Running Windows 10
OS is on a 120gb SSD
Wired internet connection
Gigabyte mobo z97p -D3
G3258 CPU (standard clock)
8gb of ram
Nvidia GTX 460
550w PSU
ram,cpu and mobo are about 6 months old.
system was stable with no issues until the symptoms appeared.
I'm leaning to a dodgy mobo?
