So I recently built a new computer to replace my previous build that had started to become obsolete. As I had just moved to a new apartment I wanted to downside my box slightly to help save on space, so I went with a Micro ATX build for the first time ever.
I went about a month and a half with no issues but one night as I was just surfing the web, not playing any sort of game that would tax the system. Anyway, my entire machine just powered off without warning.
Thinking it was possible a cable issue I made sure to check all of my connections to no avail. When I tried to start my machine up again I was unable to do so. My power button seemed to be completely disabled.
I went to bed believing my entire rig had died for some reason and that I would just figure it out in the morning, but halfway through the night it powered back up again on its own. What really struck me as odd was that the first thing I saw before windows booted up was the inital BIOS screen that I had only seen before I even installed windows weeks ago. I exited that screen and windows booted up with no problems, no error messages, and with no evidence that anything had happened.
I scanned my computer for viruses, trojans, malware, etc. and found nothing.
So I just went on my way thinking it was just a random fluke, as I had no problems with anything performance wise.
Weeks went by and nothing happened, but suddenly one day the exact same thing happened. random shut down, 0 programs open this time, but once again I was unable to turn it back on again. and again it turned on by it self again a little while later.
As of right now this is the third time this has happened and I am completely stumped. There seems to be no pattern, no particular program causing this, my computer looks clean and my hardware is all pretty top notch stuff.
Here's my parts list:
MB ASUS B85M-G LGA1150
VGA EVGA 04G-P4-3774-KR GTX 770 4GB
PSU EVGA 120-PG-0750-GR 750W
CPU INTEL CORE I7 4770K 3.5G 8M
MEM 4GBx4 GSKILL F3-12800CL9Q-16GBSR
HD 1T WD 7K 64M SATAIII WD1002FAEX
DVD BRN ASUS | DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS%
CPU COOLER CM| RR-B10-212P-G1 RT
So yeah, anyone have any Ideas?
If you need any other information I would be happy to provide it.
