I am running an ASUS P8Z77,
Win 7 Ultimate-64 bit,
XFX RADEON 7950 GPU, intel i-7 3770 CPU, Rosewell* 1000w PSU, 2 HDD, and 16 GB RAM.
This is a recent issue, about 3 months old. Every time I try to power up my PC, there's about a 1 in 10 chance it actually turns on. I'm not sure why it does this only some of the time.
The times it doesn't boot up I am left with two blank monitors and a red CPU_LED on the mobo, everything else is still running.
I've tried unplugging individual Hard drives, to see if one was bad. No dice.
I also tried unplugging the GPU and seeing if the PC would boot up... and it does! It turns on everytime! No GPU is no good to me though, so I'm trying to figure out a better solution.
Is it a power issue? Do I need a new PSU or GPU?
EDIT: I'm not sure if its related, but there were a few random times when my 2nd mobo (storage) would disconnect while I was doing low-load tasks (surfing the web) and while I was gaming.
As well, my HDD with my OS recently had a fresh installation. I installed WIN7 after I couldn't get on it anymore. The old directories are still there, and I moved some back over into the new clean install.
