Early good morning to you all, I am new here. Please help me out, I am in real need of help now. I am not sure whether you will get this, but here goes nothing...
A few months back, my display was flickering erratically and blacks out occasionally. I suspected it was my graphic card that was the problem, but I did not have enough money to buy a one. So I decided to use my desktop as per normal while I saved up for a new graphic card.
Very soon after that, like a month time, the next problem appeared. My desktop was unable to boot up at all after restarting it. Only the CPU fan, fans and graphic card fan were spinning. My mouse, keyboard was not lit up, monitor showed no display, and there was no beeps at all, so I had to force shut down it by manually offing the PSU and turning back on again when it auto restarts itself after an software update from Microsoft, etc... This led to the failure of my hard disk drive after 2 weeks.
So I have no choice but to use my brother's friend laptop while I save up for a new graphic card and a hard disk drive.
Now I have both a new hard disk drive and graphic card, I am still unable to boot up at all when it restarted after formatting my new hard disk it, only the fans were spinning again. I am not sure whether is it a Power Supply Unit Failure, CPU Failure, or a Mainboard Failure (I really do hope it's not my CPU or Mainboard that failed, it's going to take me another 5 months to save up for it)
PS: I tried http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems expect for Step 23 where I just remove my graphic card as I am certain that it was using the most power. It was able to boot after restarting when I pressed the reset button on my casing but there was a series of beeps and my keyboard and mouse did not light up as my mainboard doesn't have an onboard graphics.
So does this actually means that my power supply is not enough for my desktop now or that there are other factors such as my CPU is faulty or something?
Here is my CPU Unit Specs:
Before replacing Graphic Card and Hard Disk Drive:
Master Cooler 550w PSU
Intel i5 Core Processor 2.33GHz
MSI P55 GD80 Mainboard
Nvidia Geforce 9600GT Graphic Card
Seagate Barracuda 500GB 3.5 Hard Disk Drive
2 Kingston 2GB Ram
Samsung DVD Writer
After Replacement:
Master Cooler 550w PSU
Intel i5 Core Processor 2.33GHz
MSI P55 GD80
MSI GTX660 Ti Twin Frozr IV Power Edition 2GB Graphic Card
Corsair Neutron GTX 240GB Solid State Drive
Western Digital Black 500GB 3.5 Hard Disk Drive
2 Kingston 2GB Ram
Samsung DVD Write
My early and sincere apologies for the large amount of words I typed as I decided it would be better to explain it to the best I could to give you a better understanding on what is going on.
Thank you in advance. Your help is greatly appreciated.
