specs:
cpu: i5 4690k
gpu: r7 260x
mobo: ASRock z97 Extreme4
PSU: Corsair cx430
OK, so i have a long and peculiar problem. 90% of the time my computer is fine. But, when the power goes out, or when I either switch off the psu from the back of my computer or unplug it all together, my system wont start up for 2-3 hours. after that, it starts like anything is fine. I bought my mobo from a micro center, and it was open box, so i initially thought that was surely the problem. But, after doing a little research, I learned that corsair's cx 430 isn't the most stable/reliable power supply. any idea what this would be? also, during the 2-3 hours the system will not turn on, the phone charger i have in the back of my mobo will charge my phone. wtf? Just to be clear, when i turn off my system regularly, through windows, everything is fine. this only happens when the power goes out and the system gets unplugged.
any help would be greatly appreciated. Im just looking for ideas. has anyone seen this before? this has been happening for about 6 months (since I built it) and its pretty aggravating.
On a separate note, would a r9 390 be a good upgrade for me, if I upgrade my psu to a 650w gold?
