For the last 2 months I have been experiencing some problems with my PC. Sometimes it wouldn't successfully boot. It gets stuck at a black screen.

So far I can conclude:

1. Case fans spins up (Motherboard not dead, yet)

2. Graphic card is not dead either (Lights up)

When the pc doesn't successfully boot, the screens stays turned on (not sleeping, so some kind video output is being transmitted) but USB devices such as my keyboard and mouse doesn't turn (Lights doesn't turn on).

Earlier on I had experience the error 9C when booting which means that there something wrong with your USB devices. This could be related to my current problem. My motherboard also has the newest bios installed.

My specs are as following:

i7 5820K @ 4,6GHz
Kingston HyperX Fury DDR4 2133MHz 16GB
MSI X99S SLI PLUS
EVGA FTW GTX 1070
Corsair Hydro H110i GT
Corsair RM750i 750watt PSU
TP-LINK t8e Archer wifi pcie card
2x 120gb Kingston SSD v300 in raid 0

At this point I have no idea what could lead to this issue.

Stalking and being a member are 2 different things.

9C error, was it a blue screen of death or does your mobo have a diagnostic LED?

Haven't seen any bsod so far that is related with the problem, had a few WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR but that was due to a bad OC.

This motherboard doesn't have a diagnostic led.
