Computer has been working fine for a year then recently it just turned off on me and turned back on for a second and off very quickly with fans and lights
on and then off later on I would keep it off a couple days I would turn it on and it would work then no usb or vga or dvi from graphics card or mobo worked so i bought a different mobo which was a ASRock H97 PRO4 ATX LGA1150 Motherboard and placed it in it made the usbs and vgas and dvis all work but the computer still wouldn't turn on so i also bought a new psu which is a CORSAIR CX-M series CX450 450W 80 PLUS BRONZE Haswell Ready ATX12V & EPS12V Modular Power Supply. The computer worked fine i even reinstalled windows and installed all softwares and what not couple days pass after i just bought the new psu and the computer turns off again and then 15-30 seconds turned back on. I have kept it off for the time being and then recently i turned it on after a couple days of being off and it was fine but eventually the same problem occurred. I just dont know what the problem could be any ideas? I appreciate it a lot thank you.

Hi There,

In my experiences, this could be a RAM issue or Power supply to the wall. The first thing I would try is to remove all the RAM then boot it up, wait for the beeps or at least 10 seconds, before turning it off again. Then place your 8GB of RAM into a different slot on the MB, boot it up again and see what happens.

I have come across this issue several times. If your issue persists even when you have placed your RAM into a different slot you are possibly looking at new RAM. Process of elimination.
