sorry its been so long since i've built this computer (5+ years) that i've forgotten all the specs... all i can say is that i've got a intel quad core on a asus mobo with antec power supply, 2x 2gb corsair dominator rams, wd 10k raptor, and 2x seagate hard drives.
the problem i'm having is that sometimes the computer freezes on me (say if im playing a game, everything turns very pixely and freezes, but i can still move my mouse. can't go back to desktop or anything). in this situation i always have to force shut down the computer, and everytime when this happens the computer does not want to start back up.
when i say that it doesnt want to start back up, i mean nothing shows up on the screen. i hear my hard drives spinning, my fans spinning, mobo/lights blinking etc but the asus logo that usually comes up when i first start the computer fails to display.
sometimes ill get lucky and the computer will start back up within 5-10 tries, other times it will take 40-50. so far i've removed my cpu/gpu heat sink and re-applied the thermal compound thats been lost. i've also tried putting the rams in other slots, disconnecting hard drives i dont need, dusting the computer out etc.
because of this problem i have not been shutting down my computer but just keeping it sleep mode. any thoughts??
thanks.
