Hello friends. Thanks in advance for your time and help.
This is going to be a long post, so I hope at least some of you will make it all the way through. I´ll try to be as specific as I can.
1 month and a half ago I built my PC buying different components from different sellers, got it all up and working. Everything was fine. 2 weeks ago the power went suddenly down in my apartment, and there was when it all started. I honestly can't recall if the PC was on or off during this unfortunate event, but sure thing is that´s what caused it. At least that's what I think.
I went off to turn my PC on and something weird happened: my PC would start normally, all fans would spin (except the GPU one), but it would not boot. Not a beep. Nothing. Only the CPU LED. So I [strike]panicked[/strike] took the GPU off and plugged it back in. And it worked! How awesome am I? But the problem didn't stop there, of course.
So, my problem is that My PC wont turn on SOMETIMES. Sometimes it will and it works just fine, and I work and game with it. If it doesn't boot, the CPU LED is on. I take off the side lid, I randomly unplug and plug back again some cables and it works again. But again... only sometimes. A few days ago it wouldn't boot until I swapped my HDD and SSD SATA connectors. Whenever it boots, the time and date is at 00:00.
My rig:
- ASUS Sabertooth 990FX R2.0
- AMD FX 8370 4.3Ghz 8 core
- 24gb RAM HyperX Fury (2x8 + 2x4)
- SSD Kingston V300 240GB
- 1TB Caviar Blue WD
- EVGA GTX 970 4gb
- Thermaltake Smart 650w Pcie X 2 80plus Bronze
Things I tried:
- Removing the Mobos battery and putting it back again instantly.
- Hitting the Mem OK button
- Unplugging every single cable and connector and plugging it back in.
- Checked all pins
- Tried unplugging the PCI connectors from the GPU
- Removing every component.
You name it, I´ve tried it.
So, what can I try now? I know every component works just fine, because everytime the PC decides to turn on and work, it does perfectly! No problems whatsoever.
Is my power supply too small for my config? Is my Mobo failing? What can I do?
Thanks SO much for taking the time to read thru all this.
Have a good one!
