Hi,

yesterday my pc did reboot all of sudden and i got just a black screen.

After i opened the pc i did see the red light für CPU and DRAM. All fans are standing still only the GPU fan is working at 100%.

My wife has a simular setup with a Asrock B560M Pro4 so i took her CPU and RAM, same issue, CPU and DRAM red light. After that i took the 24pin ATX and 8pin CPU connector from her board and plugged it into mine. That way i didnt had to move the entire PSU from one pc to another.

So its the same, red CPU and DRAM lights and the fans are try to spin up for half a second but then standing still.

Im assume that the board is broken, right? Its nearly 22 months old and i didnt had any problems before.

Thanks in advance

well it could be a fault with the RAM or CPU not nessacarily the mobo..

well it sounds like the board. did you try and reset CMOS?? if that dont work see if your board is still under warranty and contact ASRock for a warranty I think they are 2 years?? not sure on that so I would check first..
