Hello!
My pc building adventure never ends, and i have had a bunch of problems to deal with, mainly caused by my own stupidity. While building, i had to yank the motherboard out a few times, once was to put in that atx plate or whatever that thing is, and the other times i don't even know why. It ended up getting caught in the case,and by the time i got the thing out it had a nice bend towards the bottom (slight, but noticeable).
Upon completion of the build, it worked for a week, then would fail the post due to bad ram, and i had to replace it (the type i had wasn't specified in the mobo manual). Got the ram i needed, and it worked for some time, until again it would fail to post, this time with a new beep code (1 long, 3 short). I did a psu rma, re-installed it, and still had the problem. I finally fixed it today, by having only the vga cable connected to the video card, switch a bios setting (primary graphics from pcie device) and re-seat the card to a new pcie slot.
Now, my pc starts up for a second, then turns off, then goes back on and starts up, and passes post. My side panel case fan is also not working as well (tried a molex to psu connection, did not work).
Setup:
-Intel i7 4790k (stock cooler)
-mobo: asus z97 a (bios version 1008 i think, not the newest version)
-geforce gtx 760
-corsair 750 watts
-corsair 16 gb (2x8) 1833
-240gb ssd, 1 terabyte harddrive
So is my motherboard bad, or what is the issue here?
