my newly home built pc of about 4-5 months wont turn off when i click the power button. and a few weeks ive been having this problem where it will crash but not BSOD it will bring up this brownish beige screen and black stripped screen.https://www.google.com/search?q=black+and+white+striped+screen+crash&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=Mc-pUvD_IMbKtQb924GYDA&ved=0CAkQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=669#facrc=_&imgdii=MYMhTQnRFycPOM%3A%3B9oaj4d_6unMx7M%3BMYMhTQnRFycPOM%3A&imgrc=MYMhTQnRFycPOM%3A%3BhrFf0U8msSkmbM%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Foi49.tinypic.com%252F34qpsnr.jpg%3Bhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.overclockers.com%252Fforums%252Fshowthread.php%253Ft%253D728155%3B1600%3B1200 something like that
and it BSOD'd before that. i did a reinstall and seemed like everything was okay untill last night. i was play warcraft and it did the striped crash again. so i rebooted and then i was browsing the internet and i played warcraft again and then it turned off without notice. my temps are perfectly fine at 38 highest for gpu and 41 highest for cpu i have 3 fans. when it turned off without notice it tried booting itself back up but got shut down again twice. i had to hold the power button and then click it back on. and after that. when i click power off. the screen turns off, there is no longer a connection between monitor and gpu and my case led's fans and usbs are still on. even my cpu fan and gpu fan. i dont know what to do.

Ah okay can't be overheating then if you dusted them. And okay, so it's pretty much random it sounds like in a way. With 'browsing the internet' are you watching Youtube because that normally requires the GPU to decode etc. putting a tinnyyyy amount of load on it.

And okay great! So as in everything stays on, you mean your computer is okie dokie and not BSODing and crashing like it used too? But yeah try a BIOS reset. Might be a jumper switch you can use or a button on the mobo to do a complete reset.

And ahhhh okay yeah could be PSU. Could also try taking out both your RAM sticks and try one at a time to see if one of them has gone bad. But if it's turning off then on etc etc.

Could also try these steps as well just to be sure...

First of all i would disconnect the GPU and take it out completely. And just boot of the integrated GPU. Just plug your screen right into the Motherboard, boot up and see what happens.

Also, how long does it normally take for the white stripes to occur on the screen? When in game and the gnu is under load is it roughly the same amount of time before it crashes? It if is it could be temps problem, faulty fan or card. (could be reporting temps as incorrect maybe? Does the fan spin up properly?)

ill try that. the fans are working fine from what i hear/see. i just dusted them last night as well. ill try the gpu-less boot. and it takes a long time for that to happen and itll happen when im browsing the internet or just playing rift. or warcraft. doesnt seem like a faulty gpu

Hope you get it sorted out dude!

It's alight! Been looking at some other forums, some people have been saying the same (new) problem turning off a few seconds after. Said that the their thermal paste dried up so the heat sink wasn't making good contact, and apparently new CPU's wont allow the system to be turned on unless it has a heatsink connected and stuff so it'll be good just to double check connections.

Check this out as well, might be realavent, http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1759150/computer-turning.html

Edit - Just read the solved part, i did and it seemed to make sense. Also what PSU have you got? Is it like a decent Corsair or similar or a cheap knockoff?

No fan spinning up on the PSU.. No nothing?

Hmmm Would definitely say it's the PSU. Sounds like it's getting worse and worse as well. As a last ditch to pull the least amount of power out of the power supply and attempt a start up, unplug literally everything out of the power supply. Disk drivers, card readers the lot. Just leave the keyboard connected and ram sticks, keep all connectors connected to the mobo on of course! Just peripherals etc. If nothing, definitely PSU i'd say. Just a last ditch really, eliminate all variables for a reliable answer.

Edit - Ah okay. Would like 99% say PSU then. See if you could source one of a friend or anything perhaps? (i know that can be hard)

It says that i cant turn it on because windows firewall cant change some of my settings.

Sorry for the late reply man. Any progress so far?

Err i wouldn't expect it too be a virus, take out the hard drive and see if it does anything (or at least unplug it) And see what happens. But the BIOS is completely different and separate from the OS and hard drive entirely. It's pretty much on it's own really. And ahh. How were you abel to get in and do the commands? Did you plug your GPU back in to make it work (sorry if i seem a bit lost, i recall you saying that it turned off after 10 seconds.)

And okay, did any of the forums say anything about your problem at all? Hmm. If you get into your system can you stress test your CPU and Memory for me if possible. It's possible one or the other, worse case it'll be your motherboard.

As for the your bros PSU, i'm guessing still worked and stuff before hand? If it did then it'll be one of the above.

Could you summarise the symptoms for me with what is happening with the system at the moment as an update?
