Hello everyone,
My computer keeps shutting down on it's own before it even turns on. This has been going on for a few months, and I initially thought it was my powersupply (it was a 3-4 year old rocketfish 900W PSU). I replaced it for a Corsair RM850 but the problem still persists, and I'm not sure what it can be. The symptoms are basically that while I game or do random tasks, the computer freezes and when I restart it, it turns on and off. The only sound I can hear is coming from the PSU (it does a click sound when it turns on and a click sound when it turns off), but I highly doubt the PSU is the problem since this one is brand new. It happened to me with a GTX 660ti, then I upgraded to a GTX 970 and it still happens. I've been able to boot the computer by disconnecting things and connecting them again. One time I disconnected a case fan and it worked, a second time I disconnected one of the HDD I have and it worked, in this instance a few minutes before writing things, I disconnected a stick of RAM and now it works. Could it be a motherboard problem? If anyone has any insight, I would greatly appreciate it!
My rig:
Gigabyte GTX 970 G1 Gaming
Intel i5 4670k @ 3.40 GHz
Corsair RM 850W PSU Gold Certified
Sector5 DDR3 RAM 8GB 1333 MHz
Creative Titanium HD Soundcard
3 HDD and 1 SSD
