Hi guys,
I have a big problem...I just finished my new build and I got into this...
I managed to start the PC few times...it even booted my old OS with no problems BUT
1. On "restart" from windows it shuts down the PC and when I power it up the CPU led remains lighted(CPU wont POST) all the fans are a max speed...and I wait and wait and wait and nothing happens next....
2. ON reset it shuts down the PC and what happens next is at point 1.
3. ON power down from switch same problem...
All the above situations appear at random and after a random number of restarts it works again like nothing is wrong...
I have flashed the last BIOS from ASUS support website, I have tried different memory configuration(1 stick, 2 sticks, etc) anyway it sees the RAM OK when I manage to boot... I took the CPU out twice and re seated but no result...
In my opinion seems to be the motherboard...the CPU should not work at all (if it was its fault) but I even managed to run Windows... I have tried to use a different CPU fan in the CPU_FAN plug(I thought that maybe the swiftec watercooler does not report corectly...)
Do you think the PSU is to small for this build?...can this be a problem?
Configuration:
MB: Asus Sabertooth x79
CPU: i7 3930k
MEM: Corsair Vengeance 1600, CL9 (4x4Gb) rev.A
COOLER: Swiftech H20-320 HD Edge (just the CPU is cooled for now it shows about 32-35 celsius with only 2 fans running)
PSU: Enermax Modu 87+ 600W
SSD: Intel(can't remember the model)
GPU: nVidia 460 Direct CU II
any thoughts? Please help...
