So this pc has been upgraded quite alot. Pc will only boot after turning PSU on and off, or sometimes after restarting 10+ times. power switch was switched to a temporary recently, still the same problem. The seller who sold me the cpu told me he hadn't tested it properly. Going to list all the parts here:

New Psu not the same color, but mostly same specs. Very confusin new psu, reseller said it came with 1 Pci-e cable, and so fourth. Turns out there was no CPU power, except the pci-e cable. Had to buy an SATA to PCI-e adapter. Old psu from 2006-2007 was in the case from before, 580 watts, and 2 pci-e cables.- http://www.inter-tech.de/index.php?option=com_content&id=112%3Asl-500&Itemid=153&lang=en

cpu - https://www.amazon.com/AMD-4-Core-Processor-Socket-FD4100WMGUSBX/dp/B005UBNL0A One of the pins was a little bit bent, but managed to insert correctly. Tried to bend it back before insertion, and that worked aswell.

Case - old case i got from a friend, was a "gaming" case back in 2006-2007.

Ram - Corsair 6x2 gb. Had to buy used ram to diagnose those. Tested with defective corsair 2400mhz and old corsair 1600mhz. Have tested with 1 ram brick many times,

New cpu fan - hyper evo 212

New motherboard - ASROCK 980DE3/U3S3 R2.0 - Bad experience, no scews or brackets included.


My old graphics card, Ati radeon 6770, was overclocked for about 3+ years, ran BF3 - BF4 on it low/Medium with good frames. Tried with an old Nvidia 8000 series, big one with 2 pci-e connectors. Same problem, no difference.

Hard drive - kinda old external one from western digital 2012-2011 era. The computer still boots onto the Windows 8 located on it when possible.

All fans are spinning as usual, no exceptions. Lights on fans are also working 100%. I recently bought a new psu ^ The inter-tech one, and the computer booted the first time, but not the second. Also motherboard wont boot into Windows 8 iso on external hard drive or usb stick. Been working with computers for a long time, but cannot diagnose this one. Researched alot on google, especially on this forum but nothing could help. Computer with OLD psu would boot into BIOS, but freezed after 10-ish seconds. It no longer freezes. Bought alot of new and used parts, only thing i can image now is the CPU. Will be very disappointed to find out it was defective when i bought it.

Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated.

Thanks, Prins.
