PC whea error boot loop
PC whea error boot loop
They offer a 3-year warranty, and since I purchased it in December 2016, I believe I'm covered. I was also considering adjusting the stock voltage and GHz settings to possibly revive it. Additionally, loading only via USB with Windows seems to trigger the BSOD.
I thought the bios were set to defaults so the stock voltage should already be there, but you're right you can try anything. It should boot as if the board was brand new. If it doesn't load with the default bios, that suggests possible over-voltage damage rather than just minor issues. It's likely the situation is worse if it won't start even with a USB drive. You've changed the dimmers, motherboard, power supply, and disk—so it seems reasonable to stop at the software level, possibly causing more harm by overvolting the CPU.

I believed the bios were set to defaults so the stock voltage should already be there, but I guess you're free to try anything. It seems it should boot as if the board was brand new. If it doesn't load with the default bios, that suggests possible over-voltage and partial damage rather than just minor issues preventing startup. It's likely damaged if it won't load even with a USB drive. You've changed the dimmers, motherboard, power supply and disk—so it makes sense to stop at the software side, possibly overvolting the CPU and causing harm. Thanks a lot for all your advice! I've already reached out to Intel to check if I can claim warranty.
