PC won't boot, post

[holdum323]

Hi I think we can all agree that the problem has to be hardware or software. I can't say 100% that you can eliminate software issues with a boot-able Linux CD, But I think that's a great place to start. Here's a great link from one of my favorite resources. Read what HTG has to say about Linux and other rescue options.
https://www.howtogeek.com/howto/31804/the-10-cleverest-ways-to-use-linux-to-fix-your-windows-pc/
Here's a quote from the above link. If you don't agree, I would love to hear your thoughts.
"There’s a number of ways that you can use Ubuntu to diagnose hardware problems, but the first is really obvious once you think about it—just boot off the Live CD, and start running some applications and test out all the hardware from a working Linux environment. If the system works fine in Linux, the problem is probably a Windows, virus, or driver issue."

My 2cents---
If your computer gets really screwed up, restore to factory settings.
Then, hopefully, you will have a Macrium Reflect system to restore to before your issues began.
Don't be cheap.
Buy factory recovery discs.
You will thank yourself later.
Can you make your own recovery discs ?
Yes.
But since you really screwed up your computer to start with you should admit your ignorance & go with the manufacturers recovery discs.
Just my opinion.

The purpose of the Linux Live Disk is too rule out hardware failure and to be able to download the update utility.

Hi! Linux Live Disk has many great features, and it's a must have for all tech repairmen.

Hi If your running W10, grab yourself a W10 Media Creation Tool here. It will come in handy.
Here's where you can get all the Window ISO files. Enjoy!

It won't work trust me on this for once.
We have already figured out today your mono is shot.
While msi technical support number is on.
Call them and see what they think. Trouble shooting computers is like trouble cars.
Gotta know for sure which part is dead.

Since you really screwed up your last computer please use Macrium Reflect to protect your new computer.

Hi I like @Montana,s idea with the Linux CD.

Im assuming the mobo is dead and hopefully the cpu is still good cause the sata ports and the io connections dont work/ respond.

How do you want me to respond? There's not a lot you can do with a dead MB.
