Hello! This post may be at bit long, as I want to include every (possibly) important detail.
Specs
First of all, it's not a home-built PC perse, it's built by www.komplett.no
Motherboard: Asus P5Q Pro.
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8500
GPU: Nvidia Geforce GTX 295 (NB: Recently changed from Nvidia Geforce 9800GTX+)
PSU: Chieftec 1000W. Pretty sure its this one: http://www.xoxide.com/chieftec-1000w-psu-autofan.html (also new, recently changed from Corsair Powersupply 550W Bulk).
RAM: Corsair TWIN2X 6400 DDR2
Problem:
Around one week after I changed the PSU and GPU, the PC shut down on its own. Or at least I suspect it did. I went out around 00.00 that night, and came home around 04.00 and then it was completely dead. There was no LED-light on the mobo, and no response what-so-ever.
Tried starting the PC with only CPU connected; no response. Then, after a week laying on the ground gathering dust, it decided to work again. I did practically nothing to get it working, because I didn't feel like working on the computer at the moment. I have no idea why it decided to work all of a sudden, I really didn't do anything, other than checking that every cables where probably seated on the mobo.
Now, three days ago, the same thing happened. Only this time I was home when it happened, but I wasn't sitting on my computer. The only thing I heard was the fans shutting off.
If I would guess what could cause this, I would have guessed overheating(mainly do to bad airflow because of cables; the PSU is somewhat bigger than the last one, and there is not that much room for the cables, as it was).
Thing's I've tried:
- Starting with only CPU connected.
- Starting with GPU, CPU connected.
- Starting with GPU, CPU and one HDD connected.
- Tried starting with only 1 memory-chip(RAM) connected(tried one at a time)
- Clearing CMOS(with both jumper and temporarly removing the CMOS-battery.)
- Cleaning it for dust =)
I guess that's all.
Thanks for all help in advance guys!
