Last winter I built a new machine using:
Lite-On 24X SATA Internal DVD+/-RW Drive Optical Drive IHAS124-14
SanDisk Ultra II 480GB SATA III 2.5-Inch 7mm Height Solid State Drive (SSD)
AMD FX-8320 Vishera 8-Core 3.5 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W FD8320FRHKBOX Desktop Processor
Rosewill Gaming Computer Case - BLACKHAWK - ATX Mid Tower - Top HDD Dock, Side Window Panel, 5 Preinstalled Fans
G.SKILL Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory Model F3-2400C11D-8GAB
PowerColor PCS+ Radeon R9 380 DirectX 12 AXR9 380 4GBD5-PPDHE 4GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 CrossFireX Support ATX Video
ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0 AM3+ AMD 990X + SB950 6 x SATA 6Gb/s port(s), gray USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler with 120 mm PWM Fan
Paragon migrate to ssd
EVGA SUPERNOVA 750 G1 80 PLUS GOLD CERTIFIED 750W MODULAR POWER SUPPLY 135MM FAN 10YR WTY
In May, it began having issues with power going off, it seems to be related to the power switch connection as slight pressure on the board causes power to go off/on again, direct pressure on the power pin portion of the board will keep it on...sometimes. The switch tests o.k.
It has been to ASUS for repair twice, and each time it is in exactly the same condition when it returns.
Small changes can cause it to fail (moving the case from horizontal to vertical...transporting it...)
Any suggestions? I've already spent far more time than the board is worth...but money is tight.
