Hello, this is my first message on the forums
Let me start by listing my components:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 955 ~ 3.6 Ghz
RAM: Kingston Hyper-X 8GB DDR2 800Mhz
GPU: Gainward Nvidia GTX 760
MOBO: Asrock Alivedual-eSATA2
PSU: Sirtec EP-750S, 750W, ATX 2.3, active PFC
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB
My problem started 4 days ago when I turned on my PC only to see all the fans and everything turn on but no booting took place, the PC didn't POST, it didn't even show the option to go to BIOS, just a simple black screen. I solved my problem after turning off the PSU and pressing the PC start button 2-3 times (the LED turned on the first time) until all the power was drained out of the capacitors, turning the PSU back on and starting the PC resulting in a successful boot. I tested my monitor and it works, tried to reseat my RAM, even checked every single component and cable and everything is ok, but every single time I try to start my PC I get a black screen unless I do the PSU work-around. Could the mobo be the cause of the problem? The PSU is brand new, got it a month ago, can't think of it being the problem since everything turns on inside the PC on start-up, including the GPU fans.
Waiting for replies and opinions
