So recently I have had to do a combination of removing my memory and reseating it...but found that the real issue/remedy for why my computer would start but not post was only fixable by shutting the power off and pulling the main power feed to the motherboard out, almost as if I was re-seating it. However, immediately upon a shut down...I'd have to do the same thing even though the computer has not been moved. It's gotten progressively worse...I was just playing SC2 and the computer froze, I had to shut down manually...went to turn back on...nothing. Do you think it's my mobo? PSU? Video Card?
I have a i7 930 on an Asus Rampage III extreme mobo...12 gigs of ddr3 from corsair (also tried older corsair ram that used to run this machine with no luck). The system is watercooled at both the cpu and video card. I removed components, reseated wires at PSU. The odd thing is...the memory comes with a fan of it's own that is plugged into the fan output on the motherboard for the processor itself (to read fan speeds and power the fan)...the system would always turn on...however not post...and when it didn't post, that fan in particular would NOT be working. It's also been randomly shutting off recently and locking up when the temps are under 25c and I'm not running aggressive clocks whatsoever. Has anyone experienced or heard of this happening? I'm really hoping it's a bad PSU...the EVGA GTX680 4gb is not cheap and since it's water cooled I'm pretty sure my warranty is over with on that component.
thanks for your time and input
