My pc suddenly won't boot. Before this happened, I experienced a BSOD. We all know that the most common cause of it is a hardware problem so I hurriedly opened my system to inspect. Here is the list of what I already did:
1. Check all power connectors(re-seated them, checked thoroughly). Boot for a few seconds then off
2. Remove the front panel connectors(Power,Power LED,HDD LED,Reset) and tried to manually boot it. No boot at all
3. Removed HDD Cables including power. Boot for a few seconds, then off
4. Re-seated all components except CPU. Boot for a few seconds then off
5. Removed the GFX, boot for a few seconds then off. Here's the shocking part, after a second try of booting. My PC turned on.
*NOTE:All "Boot for a few seconds" did not reach BIOS,Manufacturer Logo, etc just a black screen then off but the cpu and gfx fans are spinning the the power and hdd leds are on only for a few seconds
I still didn't believe that the GFX is the reason why my pc wont boot. So, I placed it back and the problem also went back. I tried removing and putting it back for a few times to see if the GFX is the real problem. But, every time that the GFX is present, my pc won't boot.
*GFX is Zotac GT610, it is already 3 months old(bought it last october) and I already used it for 3 months also but this problem just occured recently
Right now, I am using my pc through its onboard video(I removed my GFX of course). Now here's a funny part. Let's say the problem is my GFX. Now that I am using my onboard video(which is working,booting) there's this trick you need to do. The first try you turn on the switch, boot for a few seconds then off but the second try will success boot my system. In short, I need to push the power switch twice to successfully boot up my system.
I am planning to visit a computer store to inspect my system but before that, I need additional information on what should I do before I consult a computer technician just in case that I can repair it my self. Thank you
UPDATE:
Just went to a local shop and they have confirmed that the problem is the motheboard. Thank you very much for the efforts. Happy New Year
