   ASRock Fatal1ty z170 gaming-itx/ac
i5 6600k
G.SKILL Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) 
Gigabyte Geforce GTX970 - GV-N970G1 GAMING-4GD
Cooler Master V550 - Compact 550W 80 PLUS Gold Modular PSU
Samsung EVO 850 256gb

Dont know what's wrong with my PC, but I come back from work and I can no longer boot up. I get a blank screen. Computer turns on and everything spins but I am unable to boot to window or even bios. I just get a black screen If it matters my 3 GPU fans are constantly spinning which is abnormal because normally only one spins on idle. I've moved the ram and reconnected all the power cables, resetting the CMOS everytime. The only thing I havent done is take the heatsink off CPUand maybe reseat the CPU. A side note is that I have gotten blue screens previously. Ive run the full battery of stress test but none of them failed on me before. Prime95, memtest, furmark, etc. I was unable to try to force it to blue screen or force a system shutdown when running stress test. I would randomly get blue screen when playing games, surfing web, etc. So I was unable to reproduce it consistently. I would also get different BSOD's code. randing from irql errors, to memory management issues. Anyways that matters less now because I cant even boot to windows. WHat could possibly be wrong?

	I think ive narrowed it down to either the mobo, cpu or less likely the power supply

	Have you updated the Bios? Have you done an extended RAM test? The errors you mention have me thinking it might be your RAM. Run a test and report back. http://www.memtest86.com/

	Right now the problem is that I cant even get it to boot to bios, but I know i definitely dont have the latest bios version and I think the ram is fine because i ran the ramtest and it came back with no errors.

	Try booting with one stick of ram, if that doesn't work try the other.
