I built a computer about two years ago with the following hardware:
ASUS M4A87TD EVO Mother Board
Diablo Tech DA series 600W ATX PSU
hard drive - 1 TB 7200 RPM SATA III (6gb/s)
GPU XFX Radeon 5770
Processor - AMD 555 3.2 dual core (unlocked to 4 cores)
RAM - ADATA XPG 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600
DVD burner - LITE-ON 24X
The standby LED is on and my core-unlocker LED is on.
About 6 months ago I started experiencing startup problems. When I hit the power button I would get a quick flash from the front panel LED and the fans would spin for a short moment, but the computer would not boot. The on-board LEDs listed above would still remain on, but nothing else would happen. I then would turn off the power supply from the back of the computer, unplug the power supply, wait a few seconds, plug it back in, turn on the psu and then try to hit the front-panel power switch again. I generally would have to do this 2-3 times to get the computer to engage and fully boot up.
As time went on I had to repeat this process more and more to get my computer to boot up. Last week it took me nearly 20 times to get my computer to start. Today I am unable to get it to start at all.
I believe it is related to the CPU, either the power being fed to the CPU or the CPU itself. The reason I think this is because when I disconnect the power from the CPU I get the same results as I do when the power is connected.
What can I do to determine if it is the CPU or the Power supply that is causing the issue?
Could it possibly be something else?
Thanks in advance for your help.
