I think my [[ASUS Gryphon Z87 Motherboard|ASUS Gryphon Z87 Motherboard]] has had it. I've taken the old [[hyper-v|hyper-v]] machine part today, given it a good clean out and put back together with the intention of turning it into a [[proxmox|proxmox]] box. However, once I put it back together and tried to boot, it keeps cutting out and restarting. The lights on the motherboard go from CPU > RAM and at that point it powers off and restarts, nothing on the screen, no output detected at all.

I seem to remember this happening last time i messed with it, i just can't remember how i got it working. I think it just worked after some fucking around with it, and it's been fine since.

Looking at the manual, it suggests that there's an issue with the ram. I've cleaned the contacts on the ram strips, removed the motherboard and re-seated, but still the same outcome. I think it's time to retire the board. I could buy somemore
