The build:
h87n rev 2
Intel Core i7-4790S LGA 1150 - BX80646I74790S
Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5-Inch SATA III
Crucial Ballistix Sport Very Low Profile 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3-1600 1.35V UDIMM 240-Pin
Mini-Box picoPSU-160-XT High Power 24 Pin Mini-ITX Power Supply
Wesena, ITX5-B (Black) - 100% Aluminum, Mini HTPC chassis
This is my second Hackintosh after many Linux/windows builds.
Following instructions I installed Mavericks and got on board BT working with keyboard and mouse. I only used Ethernet. Then I put it in a corner somewhere without keyboard/monitor and played with it through Remote Desktop from a mini for several days without any problems. One day it wouldn't wake up and/or boot.
The cpu fan spins up and down. System fan initially worked and now won't. I got another pico psu - same result. I tested 2 different AC bricks. Before the build I tested the pico psu using coolmax and it passed. Now it fails at PG. The new pico fails the PG test out of the box (using Coolmax tester).
I don't know how important the PG test is. I noticed during initial build that during POST I was getting a few memory access errors before continuing successfully. Was it due to slow power ramp up?
Do I have 2 bad pico psus? Or my board failed? I guess I've been lucky and never had to deal with such problem. Help greatly appreciated.
