Hello everyone.
Having an issue with my pc. Built 2 years ago. Asus h87m plus micro atx motherboard with i5 4670k. 8bg ram, windows 7. Gpu is a 970gtx. Psu is cougar cmx700 700w. Cpu watercooler, windows on ssd. 1tb harddrive
Lately it wont turn on unless i switch off psu for 10 mins then switch back on, then press the start button. Sometimes ill have to repeat that step a few times untill it eventually turns on. This happens after its been off for a short to long period of time. (Can be 2 days, can be 2 mins)
If its on and i restart it, it always reboots 100% of the time. So im sure its not a heating problem. (Also have a cpu watercooler and plenty of fans)
To add to this everytime it does eventually turn on it always boots into bios, then i have to select the hard drive to boot from.
Also everytime it does eventually turn on the time and date is ALWAYS wrong and i have replaced the motherboard battery 4 times but this still happens.
Also if i leave the psu switch on overnight it will turn its self on during the night at what time i dont know.
I have tested the psu by connecting the green and black wire to turn on the psu fan and i can do this anytime even if the computer wont start.
Also i have checked every connection and all seen to contact well.
Have also ruled out the case power button by connecting the terminals manually with no responce.
Also i have tryed booting without hard drives, ram, (also switched ram terminals) gpu. So i think that would rule out everything but the motherboard, cpu and psu.
I have visually checked the motherboard for abnormal looking capacitors and found nothing
I would just like to know what components to replace as i am guessing this is unfixable. Also note that my windows 7 is not genuine. But i am planning to change that soon
Thankyou-shane
