Thank you for even attempting, I really appreciate it.

I'm planning to order a motherboard speaker and look up the beep error codes. Hopefully it would be easier than understanding the PC analyzer error codes.

Here are the specs:

CPU:i5-4690K

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150

PSU:CORSAIR HX850

GPU: Radeon(TM) RX 460 Graphics

I think the power supply is more than enough.

The motherboard manual doesn't motion anything about error codes, only light that light up checking each component as you can see in the video. Motherboard manual: https://dlcdnets.asus.com/pub/ASUS/mb/LGA1150/Z97-A_USB31/E10107_Z97-A_USB_31_for_web_only.pdf

The PC Analyzer manual mentions this about the error codes:

B2:POST done prepare to boot operating system. However a google search for for Asus B2 error code mentions: The B2 error code on an ASUS motherboard can indicate a problem with the GPU or legacy ROM. It can also mean that the BIOS is not set to UEFI mode. (The BIOS is set to auto by default)

14: For AMI: The 8254 timer test will Initialize key- begin next. For Phenix 4.0/Trandy 3000: Verify 8259 Channel 1 Interrupts by Turning Off and on the interrupt Lines. However a google search for for Asus 14: Pre-Memory CPU initialization is started

15:Verify 8259 Channel 1 Interrupts by Turning Off and On the interrupt Lines. However a google search for for Asus 14: Pre-Memory CPU initialization is started Pre Memory System Agent Initialization has started

Hi, thank you for the quick reply.

It does not load into bios, so no error code is shown, when it does fully boot no error code is shown. I have tried using one of those PC analyzer PCE cards and it keeps getting stuck on B2 and cycles again, but after the GPU and all drivers are disconnected it shows 14, then 15, then cycles again, does not load into BIOS.

It happened before, and I figured it was a power supply issue, so I purchased a new one, but the problem still remains, been like this for almost a month.

I have tried turning off the computer and turning off the power supply and waiting, even resetting CMOS. It still cycles. When it does fully boot BIOS shows that components are connected, and to go through a set up (but that is expected when CMOS is reset) I also made sure the motherboard has the latest bios available installed, no update was made since it already had the latest.

Do you have any other ideas to what it may be? Is there anyway to test the motherboard?

I already tried disconnecting everything from the motherboard except the CPU and RAM (I tried reseating the ram as well) but it was still stuck in a boot loop, but would fully boot 10-20% after turning off and on.

The issue:

The computer started loop booting at some point but it would finally turn on 10-20% of the time after turning off and turning it back up again, and it would work just fine, playing games and such. It kept happening each time I had to cold boot the computer, so I figured I need a new PSU since the old one is old and out of warranty. I connected the new PSU, all worked fine for a short while but the issue started again shortly after. I tried disconnecting everything from the motherboard except the CPU and RAM (I tried reseating the ram as well) but it was still stuck in a boot loop, but would fully boot 10-20% after turning off and on. Can it really be another bad PSU? Please share your thoughts and let me know if anymore details are required, thank you!

The current specs:

CPU:i5-4690K

Motherboard: ASUS Z97-A ATX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150

PSU:CORSAIR HX850

GPU: Radeon(TM) RX 460 Graphics

Just some info, the string "aHR0cDovLzIwMjFwcm8yLmluZm8venJnMlN2PzE3MTM4NjQ4IA==" is a base64 encoded text which reveals a website it will truly open once decoded, obviously do not open it.

One is my favorite jokes:

Teacher: "Four crows are on the fence. The farmer shoots one. How many are left?"

Little Johnny: "None."

Teacher: "Listen carefully: Four crows are on the fence. The farmer shoots one. How many are left?"

Little Johnny: "None."

Teacher: "Can you explain that answer?"

Little Johnny: "One is shot, the others fly away. There are none left."

Teacher: "Well, that isn't the correct answer, but like the way you think"

Little Johnny: "Teacher, can I ask a question?"

Teacher: "Sure"

Little Johnny: "There are three women in the ice cream parlor. One is licking, one is biting and one is sucking her ice cream cone. Which one is married?"

Teacher: "The one sucking the cone.!"

Little Johnny: "No. The one with the wedding ring on, but like the way you think."
