Ok i put my SSD from my 2nd computer in, and it started up with no issues. So I am guessing the mobo is bad, and also the SSD? I just got that SSD maybe around Nov or Dec of last year.. Its a PNY brand.. Would they cover that?
I am also looking at upgrading the GPU to either a Geforce 1050ti or the Geforce 1060.. I dont know which is better. I currently have the Geforce 660 by EVGA. I am also looking at replacing the mobo with this one...

Please take that computer to a shop before doing anything crazy.
I did order a new mobo,
I did put the PNY SSD from the 1st computer and it didnt boot.
I tried booting the 1st computer with the kingston hard drive and still had the same issue
I Have Terrible experience with local computer stores.. one small fix and they charge me 200 dollars and 2 weeks later its fixed.
If the problem is still there, then I can return it. Not a big deal. If it comes to that, then Ill have someone look at it. It will still be quicker and more then likely cheaper to fix it with new parts then it would be to try have a shop fix it.. They will probably tell me its fired and hey we can order new parts for you.. Trust me, I love to support local businesses, but most of them are rip offs and scams. Ive seen it 1st hand. Ill let you know tues if it works or not. The parts come in monday, but i work 24 hours at a time.. I work as a firefighter, and I am on shift monday. so it will be tues before I can put it together. In the mean time, let me know if you have anymore trouble shooting tips
I read all of those. Most of them are for starting up a new pc it seems like. Again i havent changed anything inside my case for the past few months which was installing a new ssd. The last time i opened the case before that was probably 6 months for a quick cleaning of the dust. And the time before that was 6 months before that for the same thing
Again i could be completely wrong. It could be something simple... but we tried a lot of trouble shooting tips.
If this happened after i did some work inside the case then i could under stand something isnt ran or installed correctly. But being the computer has been running fine for the past 3 years... it seems like to me something went bad some where. Iike the other guy said, its electrical. It can go bad at any time
I dont think I said anything about killing head phones. I said the only different I did to the PC in the 24 hours before it crashed was plug in an external mic. Thats all..
The new stuff should be in tomorrow. Ill put it all together on Tues... I ordered some new thermal paste, how should I clean the old stuff off? It is all crusty and stuff. I hope the processor isnt fired :/ I just got it sitting on desk for now.. If I remember correctly, Ive been told they are very fragile. Is that correct?
