Hi,
The problem I am facing started 2 months back. I purchased my rig around 9 months back.
I use my rig primarily for my 3D CG work, as usual I kept my PC for rendering over night and in the morning the fans were running, proxy cooler was running, however I had no display (two monitor setup, both connected to DVI port of GPU). Once I restarted the system, it started working. Then it happened couple of times more. I read couple of posts in tomshardware forums and realized the problem lies with the GPU. Since it never occurred again for few days, I ignored the errors. However, this new issues surfaced; The system completely powered down at random intervals during my work or when running games and wouldn't turn on.
I removed my GPU (Sapphire OS Boost HD 7950) and send it for replacement. While the card was on replacement, I was running the PC on motherboard's native graphics and system never switched off, not once.
Yesterday (took 25 days to replace the card and my system never switched off once during this time) I got a replacement and Sapphire gave me a Vapour X OC Boost HD 7950.
Till now it worked fine, however few of minutes before I wrote this, it occurred again. System completely powered off and everything stopped. Even when I press the power button, it doesn't start. I need to wait for a while or turn on and off my UPS to get the system running again.
I have a strong feeling that the PSU might not be able to give enough power to the PC. As GPU has been replaced, PSU is the next suspect. I could be wrong, and would appreciate it some can tell me what has happened.
Thank You
