I am at a loss. About 2 weeks ago I went to turn on my computer and something sounded off. I know the sounds my rig makes and it sounded like something wasnt running. In roughly 10-15 minutes my computer just shuts off. I panic and try to turn it back on. It runs for about 30 seconds but it doesnt send a signal to the monitor which stays black. I do this a couple more times and just frustrate myself.
After combing through the internet for the past 2 weeks trying to find an answer Im out of ideas. I thought it might be the PSU failing but after switching it out with another one its the same results. I've cleaned out my case and checked every pin from the psu to motherboard and they all seem fine.
Switched the RAM around multiple times and no change. I have a feeling that it might be that the heat sink is dead or failing but Im not a 100%. I built this computer almost 4 years ago now and it has run perfectly up to this point.
PSU: Solytech SL-8850EPS
MB: Gigabyte ga-770t-usb3
