Hi, I am in a serious pickle & need some expect advice.
I just got my hands on a Maximus Formula VII a few months now for my new build, and all was working fine when one day all of a sudden lost picture on my monitor. I do not have a dedicated GPU yet (was waiting for the 980Ti Strix to be available where I am), so was only using the on-board graphics via HDMI. I reset & tried, but did not get any picture. I cleared CMOS, but still no luck. I can see that the computer boots into Windows, as I can see it on my network on my other laptop & even able to play media from it. Motherboard Code "AO".
So I tried to go straight to BIOS by removing all drives, but still the same. Only a few times, I only saw a strange Orange Screen with shadow of the UEFI Bios, but distorted, & not able to make out anything. Here is a picture I taken of the screen. But most cases, no image, but monitor detects it is plugged in, but no image.
.
I also replaced HDMI cable, plugged to different monitor inputs, changed to TV, tested cable with other device, still no luck. I also tried running with single ram stick.
I currently did no overclocking, have not started gaming or other heavy load. Current config
Processor - Core i7 4790K (running at stock)
Ram - 16GB G.Skill Trident X 2400 Mz (was not running in XMP)
Boot Drive - Samsung 850 Pro 256 Gb
Data drive - 1Tb WD Blue & 6Tb WD Green
CPU Cooler - CoolerMaster Neptune 240M
PSU - CoolerMaster V 850
Case - Corsair 750D
Is there something I may have missed or am doing wrong, or anything else I can try. Where I am, chances of getting my board replaced is very small, even though retailer gave a 1 year warranty (where as ASUS else were give 3 years), but the retailer I got it from are independent and may cause problems to get out this. And I really do not want to dismantle things unless I really have to.
Any suggestions would be great, and really struggling with this.
Thanks
