Hello everybody,
I recently built my first PC about 4 or 5 days ago, and while playing Metro 2033 for the first time, my system unexpectedly shut down. When I tried to reboot it, I would get the ASRock startup screen, followed by the POST, but after about three seconds from starting it, I lose video feed and my HDTV cuts to no signal. This happens everytime I turn it on and I cannot make it past the POST screen.
I have tried just about everything I can think of (resetting the CMOS by jumper and battery removal, reseating all of my hardware, changing the outlet I use, trying a different monitor and cable, looking for shorts) and I am at a loss. I can't really do much in the system considering I cannot access anything. It's all still covered, but I don't want to have to send everything back. I would like to isolate the problem. I don't overclock, and I have liquid cooling (plus I actively monitor temps) and I don't think that overheating is the problem.
Here is my setup:
ASRock 970 Extreme3 mobo
Phenom II x4 965 3.4 GHz
XFX Radeon HD 7850 2gb core edition
Kingston 8GB (4x2) 1333
OCZ 700w ModXStream PSU
I can give any other info if you guys need it.
I'll be checking back periodically through the day to see if you guys have any suggestions. Thank you.
