Here is my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/H96gpg (I have different ram, couldn't find it on Part Picker.)
I built my computer a year or so ago and it has run pretty smoothly until a few months ago. In December it started to act up. For example, it would randomly shut off mid game or things of that nature, just acting a little weird. About a week ago I had tried to turn my computer on but only the fans in the graphic card were spinning full speed. The motherboard has these cool red LED's on them that light up when my computer is on. Those weren't on, neither were the case fans. Only the power supply and graphics card was powered (I'm assuming the graphics card was spinning because of the PSU being plugged into it?). My problem is that I'm still not sure if it is the motherboard that is broken or if it is my power supply. I think it would be the motherboard. I tried the paper clip trick with the power supply and it turned on. In fact, I connected my optical drive to the PSU and that turned on too. What's my problem? The motherboard? All help is appreciated.
