Long story short my computer has the following symptoms:
- The whole computer stopped working in inactive mode when the screen had turned off. It didn't react to mouse movements or keyboard buttons.
- The power button didn't work, nothing happened when I held it in for several seconds. I had to turn off the computer with the PSU power button.
- Afterwards the computer refuses to POST or load BIOS.
- Some times the computer won't start until it's been disconnected from the power cable for some minutes.
What IS working:
- Fans are running and MB is lit up when the computer is started.
- Never had any high temperatures with this hardware.
- Power button works fine when starting the computer.
Hardware:
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-990 XA UD3
- Power supply: XFX Pro 1250w
- Can't find any extra PSU lying around.
What I've tried:
- All peripherals, graphics card, hard drives and RAM have been unplugged, doesn't change anything.
- CPU has been reseated, no change.
- CMOS replaced and reset, no change.
Question: Do I need a new motherboard?
