" rel="nofollow - I fired up the new Assasin's Creed and started playing. I got maybe 5 minutes into the game and my system froze and crashed with a kernel error. After dying, the system would power up for a second, I can see the numbers cycle from 15 to 00 and then it powers down. This repeats in an endless loop.

Extreme6/ac

Intel 4790K

NZXT AIO Watercooler

Coolermaster SinWave 850watt PS

Samsung Evo 850 1TB

Gigabyte G1 Gamer GTX1070

Corsair Vengence DDR3 (2400) 2x8GB

I pulled the video card and it didn't make any difference. I tried a different power supply and the same thing is occurring. I pulled one of the RAM chips and the system starts, but Dr Diag errors that it can't find a SATA drives. Can't get into BIOS as the system freezes.

Is the board dead? What can I try next?
