I know alot of threads have been created regarding this issue, however I found my issue abit unique to whats going on with it, so please bare with me here.
Hardware Specs:
MSI K96PGM2-V2(
AMD Athlon II X2 245 2.8ghz
4GB Generic RAM
Nvidia GT430 1GB
500w PSU
I have been having this issue were my unit would suddenly freeze, either when playing games, browsing or on standby, when I shut it down or reset it, on some occasions it would not boot, no post, no beep, nothing on screen, but the mouse would have power, HDD led would blink for a few sec, CPU fan running, aux fans running, DVD-drive working. It happened to me before, but just after turning it off and removing the plug after a few hours, it would boot up w/o any problems, but recently it just did no boot up anymore.
I have tried breadboarding it, to test for grounding, still the same, tried to remove VC, still the same, tried to remove 1 stick of RAM, still the same, tried to remove both RAMs, it would have 3 long beeps, tried replacing PSU with a spare I had, still the same. As I have thought that I have exhausted all posibilities that RAM, VC and PSU are not the cause, I bought a new mobo, ASROCK N68C-GS FX, but still had the same issue. I tried breadboarding it with the new mobo, but still having the same issue.
Now I'm thinking it might be the CPU thats doing this, but before I replace it I would like to get some input on other posibilities.
