Hey guys!
I have a 4 year old computer and am hoping I can fix this without buying new parts. My computer has been having issues randomly restarting due to Windows crashing. Last night I decided to get a USB drive, put windows on it, and clean the main drive.
After doing this I return to my computer after an hour and its turning on, 5 seconds later it turns off, then on again (rinse and repeat). When the screen does turn on (not often) it shows a new BIOS screen thats blue with GIGABYTE - UEFI BIOS at the top.
I've followed a few suggestions as follows:
-Remove 1 stick of RAM (leave one behind)
-Take the battery out of the motherboard for 10 minutes, then return
-Try and new PSU that I know works
-Hold a metal rod on the CLR CMOS pins for 10 seconds
So far nothings changed.
Here is a list of my Hardware
1 CoolerMaster Extreme 2 625W
1 Gigabyte GA-B75M-D3V Motherboard
1 Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Ti WF2 2GB
1 OCZ Vertex 4 128GB SSD
1 CoolerMaster CM 690 II Advanced NVIDIA Edition USB3.0
1 Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit with SP1 OEM
1 Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3
1 Intel Core i5 3570K
What else can I do other than replacing the motherboard (and CPU)?
