Hi, I recently upgraded my HTPC and now it will only turn on sometimes, the other times, nothings happens, no fans spin up, no post, nothing.
Before the upgrade my PC consisted of the following components:
- Antec ISK 300-150
- Asus P8H67-I Deluxe
- Intel i3 2120
- Corsair DDR3 4GB 1333 Mhz So-dimm
- Crucial M4 256 SSD
The PC was working normal and it would turn on everytime.
I upgraded my PC with the following parts:
- Fractal Design Node 304
- Silverstone SST-ST55F-G Strider Gold Series - 550 Watt
- EVGA GTX 670 FTW Signature 2
- Hitachi 2,5' HDD 256GB
The other parts stayed the same (except for the Antec case which was replaced by the Node).
I was pretty happy with my build, until it didn't turn on. I tried to disconnect it from the power outlet for a few minutes, let the capacitors discharge, nothing helped.
After a few tries the PC would suddenly start. Also sometimes it would start with a few seconds delay,
after hitting the power button.
If the pc decides to turn itself on, it will run with no hiccups and no blue screens (tested it with a few hours gaming session).
Also I checked the motherboard, the green led is glowing so I'm suspecting the graphics card or the psu.
Any other ideas or suggestions that could help me figure it out?
