Hi guys last night i turned off my pc, and woke up at 8am to see the Red power on light around my power button flickering and the fans led was lit up and spinning slowly and my 660ti graphics card was slowly spinning and flickering on and off with light.

I tried turning on the pc but it stays stuck on a black screen saying something like veryfying dmi pool data

I left the pc off all day and just now tested it, when plugging in the power cable the pc started flickering as i mentioned although this time it booted up sucessfully past the veryfying dmi pool data screen.

What should i do?.

I wanted to keep my pc until skylake and maxwell but it seems like its dying on me. i use it daily

I would run a benchmark and make sure you cpu and gpu are still running well. Computers are really hard to destroy, its mainly the fear of all your money going down the drain. If you have worked with old crappy computers before you know that you can be a little ruff and they still work normally. Maybe if you still have your windows dvd try putting that in and go through a repair.

Im not a expert but thats my opinion.

I dont have a working cd/dvd drive because i used the cable for my h80i water cooler, And even if i did a windows reinstall the problem with turning the pc off would remain where the fans and lights are flickering, I believe its a hardware failure....

I dont know what to do i wanted my pc to last until skylake and maxwell to be released, Should i fix or sell it and buy a new pc. or does someone have a fix for me

Current specs are

Cpu Amd 8350
Motherboard: Gigabyte usb 3 78lmt
Ram 16gb corsair vengeance lp
Gpu 660ti
Psu 600- 700 watt i dont know the name maybe CIC
