Hi everyone. I've had my PC for about 3 years now, upgraded some parts along the way (GPU, CPU, PSU , SSD etc.) But recently my PC has been failing to boot. I'll press the I/O button and all will turn on GPU, fans etc. But it seems to be less noisy as if its not recieveing enough power? Some times it will boot fine, sometimes it will just show a black screen ( no boot screen ) and sometimes it will show the boot screen and then say no signal and go blank again?

Thanks for any help in advance :)

Cheers.

It's likely the board is going/gone. I had the same symptoms when my board was dead, it was a new board though so it was under warranty, but got it back and everything booted up just fine. if you didn't change anything right before this happened that is the best guess.

Yeee that what I was thinking, can't complain though its served its time. 3 years of quite heavy usage isn't bad for a £30 mobo :) thanks for the reinsurance

Sure isn't! I'd mark that one up as a win.
