Greetings,
My PC was working great then suddenly, with no software or hardware changes, this started happening.
When I press the power button, lights and fans come on, then nothing. Sometimes, after literally 5-15 minutes, it beeps once then boots up. Most of the time it doesn't beep or boot at all.
Thinks I've tried, none of which made any difference:
1. Resetting bios
2. New CMOS battery
3. Different power supply
4. Different RAM
5. Different video card
6. Disconnecting everything but motherboard, processor, ram, video card, psu
At this point it's looking to me like my motherboard is dying/dead. Before I buy a new board and completely rebuild my system I figured I'd post this and see if anyone has any other troubleshooting ideas. Thanks
Relevant hardware:
Asus crosshair iv formula
AMD phenom II 1100T BE OC'd to 3.9
