Hey Guys
this is my first thread here after being around for a while reading and troubleshooting with the great contributions!
My issue started a few weeks ago with no apparent reason (no soft nor hardware change was made to my pc) when I tried to turn on the pc and got no response at all. I'm quite tech savvy myself, (I've been putting pcs together since my first 386 with 4 megs of ram and mindblowing 80 megs of hard drive) so I started troubleshooting the system (that I've built from scratch) component by component up to the processor.
After a few hours of work the only consistent behavior is that the PC wouldn't turn on unless it spent 5 minutes unplugged.
After not getting any results with hardware testing I started working with software, I updated the BIOS (flashed the same version it had) and ran some tests to see if mem, video and processor were ok.
I'm still without an answer. The system runs smoothly and beautifully until I turn it off and try to start it up again. The only solution is to unplug the cord, count to 300 and press the button.
Here are my specs:
-CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor
-CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler
-Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170X-Gaming 7 ATX LGA1151
-Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
-Storage: 2 x Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
-Video Card: 2 x Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 4GB WINDFORCE 3X Video Card (2-Way SLI)
-Power Supply: SeaSonic Snow Silent 750W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX
-Optical Drive: Pioneer BDR-209DBK Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer
-Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro (64-bit)
-Monitor: Asus ROG SWIFT PG278Q 144Hz 27.0"
-Sound card: Creative Soundblaster Recon 3d PCIe (beacuse Gigabyte bast***s were to damn cheap to license DDL on their integrated supposed-to-be-high-end motherboard)
Thanks very much for your comments!!!!
Ps. English is not my mother language, please excuse any grammar mistakes
