Hey all,
I really need some help with this problem.
Ever since my SSD died on me (4 months old) my computer has been having a lot of problems.
When it died I was not sure what was going on so I re-seated the RAM multiple times, and flashed te BIOS to a newer version.
After I found out my SSD died, I ordered a new one and plugged it in.
My computer did work again, but not for long, after a couple of starts it stopped POSTing on regular occasions.
Every time this happened it needed a restart (Hold the button, then press it again).
It's like it needs to warm up or something.
From then on it usually needs a restart every time, there have been days where it started on the first try, and lately there have been days where it started on 5 to 8 tries.
I've tried re-seating the RAM, trying every RAM stick on its own and doing a memtest which turned up fine.
The problems persisted.
I've tried starting without peripherals and the likes but the problems persisted.
I've tried starting with only 1 drive but the problems persisted.
The strangest thing is when it finally does start, it runs like nothing ever happened and it seems perfectly fine.
The pc is now 5 months old, so I still have warranty on it, but the company I ordered it from has a horrific warranty policy which seems to be carefully written to make sure people would rather let a 3rd party solve their problems.
The biggest problem is that it could easily take 6 weeks for the computer to be fixed, and as a Software Engineer I cannot wait that long.
Do any of you know what might be going on or what can be done to find what is actually going on?
Best regards.
