Hello there
I've been having trouble figuring out the odd patterns of behaviour my pc has been showing me over the years.
The computer seems to be having trouble booting from time to time, but once it runs it runs mostly stable without any blue screens of death. Mostly means, that sometimes network-related components fail. The onboard networkadapter on the mobo (gigabyte E58-UP4D rev1) has been long dead, and i'm running a PCI board aswell as a wireless USB adapter from time to time, both of which can fail randomly, requiring reboot.
Sometimes when i try to boot, it just spins up discs and fans. Lights are on. I've tried removing all components except CPU and i can't get the mobo to beep at all (maybe it doesn't have a speaker, manual is of no help). And then after waiting, it is able to boot again (really random). Sometimes it hangs a bit before booting, but mostly waiting for a boot does nothing.
I have yet to find a stable pattern of succes booting, which means that clearing the CMOS seems to help sometimes, but mostly not.
I can play games, heavy games, without much trouble, once it runs. Meaning that the network adapter might die. I've tried switching adapters, and this doesn't resolve anything.
What are your thoughts?
Everything in the pc except GPU and cooling unit is about 10 years old.
