Fixed the bad solder job, but the PC still was acting the same. I got the system up long enough to notice something. I noticed things like my network devices saying they weren't found or were missing. I realized something must have corrupted the Windows install. I reinstalled Windows, and now the computer runs flawlessly. I don't think I've ever seen an instance where the software has caused the system to reboot, and it appears to be a hardware issue. Learn something new every day. -
Opened the PSU up, and found an MOSFET(4800AGM) that appears to have seen better days. Looks like two of the legs are bridged(could of been designed that way?) and one leg appears like the connection is broke. Almost like something was spilled on that section.Leave a comment:

No, I don't have another power supply on hand. The bios is reporting
CPU VCore 1.164V
CPU VRIN 1.068V
DRAM Channel A/B 1.188V
+3.3 V 3.344V
+5V 5.070V
+12V 12.096V
CPU VAXG 0.012V
The PC does not seem to have any issue staying running in BIOS, but once I boot past it into Windows I will sometimes get 30 seconds to 2 minutes before it reboots. Do you think it could still be a possible power supply issue? Thanks for the help!
EDIT: Wow, I just realized how old my power supply is. It's a Corsair TX750w, it was released October...Leave a comment:

Okay, well, it's a year later, and I've decided to try to look back over this board. I attempted to start the system back up and got a C0 error on the LCD display. It appears to hit the desktop for login and then restarts, if I enter into the BIOS the system does not seem to have an issue to keep running, but if I let it boot past this it will hit the desktop and typically it will reboot within ~30 seconds of hitting Windows desktop (last boot was an exception as it lasted for several minutes). I know the board is old, but I want to dive into this and understand what caused this failure. Does...Leave a comment:

Well something else just happened. Was using the PC and it just went off, no signs of booting. Pushing the CMOS reset button causes the LEDs to light up for a split second and then goes back off. Removing power and applying power the display to light up on the board and it got to 32, 35, 45 and went dark. after the LEDs and the code display goes off it won't light up again till I remove power or hit CMOS reset. Wondering if this is the end of the road for her this time...Last edited by ctroxtell; 12-06-2023, 09:57 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: It works!
Been messing with computers for 20+ years, never seen this happen. Are you saying the bios could be corrupt? I'll reflash it and see what I get. I had to disconnect everything for some cable management and noticed when I plugged it back in it went to acting up again, had to hit the CMOS reset. Thanks for the information and insight....Leave a comment:

It works!
Started messing with my computer again, since everything would start up I hit the CMOS reset and the reset switch next to it. The post display lit back up and the computer booted as if nothing had happened. So I'm not sure what in the world caused this issue.Leave a comment:

Making progress, power button causes motherboard to power on now, but no POST display
The CMOS battery is at 3.115v, I hit the CMOS-SW to reset it. That made a few changes...everything appears to start up. The power supply turns on, hard drives spin up and the case fans start. Unfortunately, the POST display is still blank, when power hits it the monitor can see something is attached but says there is no data coming from the pc. The gfx card lights up, but none of the 3 fans attached to it spin in this state...from what I remember these fans seemed to spin as soon as power was turned...Leave a comment:

Re: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) fails to power on
No, everything is dark on the motherboard when I first plug it in. As soon as I hit the power button, the red power led button on the board will light up but there is nothing else happening...no fan movement on anything. When I had my RX 480 gfx card installed I could see the led status lights on it glowing but I'm guessing something has gone faulty on the motherboard.Last edited by ctroxtell; 05-22-2022, 01:31 PM.Leave a comment:

Re: GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) fails to power on
I removed the ram, gfx card, all drives, I tested powering it after removing each component. Yes, it has a post display but it will not show anything. When I plug the PC in and hit the power button, the red power, the overclock and the eco buttons light up. But absolutely nothing turns on, the power supply stays off unless I jump the two out on the main harness. At that point the fans and drives will spin up but no signs of anything from the mb.Leave a comment:

The only other power supply I have is one from a Dell PC, not even sure if that one could power this board though.Leave a comment:

GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) fails to power on
Hey guys, I've got a GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 (rev. 1.0) that stopped powering on one day. Pressing the power button on the pc the manual power button LED on the board will come on and glow, and the LED on the ASUS ROG Radeon RX 480 8GB will come on and glow. The power supply is not turning on and powering anything up when this happens. I've jumped the power supply green and black wire and then the power supply will turn on and I can hear all of my hard drives spin up but there is no sign that the motherboard is doing anything. I've tried pulling all accessories off to ensure nothing... -
Re: New Members - please post your introductions here
Hey everyone! My name is Chris, I'm in North Carolina. I work on HVAC equipment for a living and try to get my hands into other things as I get time. Hoping to find some help determining what happen to an old motherboard. I heard about the forum through the YouTube channel Learn Electronics Repair.Leave a comment:
