I reset the BIOS. I reset the CMOS. I replaced the CMOS. No IDE option in my bios. Thing gets stuck on automatic repair - ill leave it on for hours and nothing.

I removed all additional HDDs and SSDs. I pulled the C drive and backed up the important data. Pulled the GPU and checked it real good. All of the ram as well.

I had gotten a BSOD with the “PNP Driver Watchdog” error. Google is unhelpful as anyone with this BSOD never received nor confirmed a working remedy or solution.

Now, after days of trying I am very rarely able to get to the Windows Install window from my USB. But none of my mice or keyboards work. They’ll work briefly for a few seconds and then stop. Nothing works to get them going again forcing me to shut down yet again.

Only thing I can think of is an unplanned and unannounced power shut off while I was out. Less than a week later my PC is pulling this shit. Refusing to boot.

Im ready to take it to a stupid pc repair shop… which im very hesitant on doing as I built this thing. Not to mention I dont like the thought of transporting this huge and heavy thing.

    Sorry, I should have said downvote, it’s different to disregard :).

    (I didn’t mean anything that bad by it, just that we do try to help & don’t really get feedback if it worked/what works & what not, which means we can’t help further/move from that point forward. Opening additional posts instead of finishing with what’s left in previous ones is more work for everyone, you included.)
