Hey there and thanks in advance.
So I just moved to a new apartment and got my PC back together. (I had taken out the GPU and the heat sink while I moved so they didn't get damaged).
I plug everything in. Fire it up. It boots just fine up until the welcome screen. Then shuts off randomly. I figure it's no big deal. Start up again. But now I have no signal coming to the display.
Here's what I've tried so far :
Double checked all connections.
Reset CMOS battery.
Took out GPU, cleaned out socket and put it back in.
Changed RAM slots.
Stripped down to bare minimums and tried to start up.
What happens is my PC boots, with or without GPU. Runs for a few seconds, then shuts down again.
Please note I can't get into BIOS because I don't get any kind of signal to my display.
Though what's weird is when I reset the CMOS battery it didn't shut down. But when I plugged the GPU back in it shut down almost instantly.
So I'm not sure if it's a faulty PSU or GPU (or even both)
Here are my specs :
- PSU: Xilence XP500R6 500 watts (80+)
- MB: Asus M5A78L-M LX3, AMD 760G
- CPU: AMD FX-6300 6x 3.8GHz
- Cooler: Scythe Katana 4
- RAM: 8GB DDR3-RAM PC-1333
- GFXCard: Nvidia GeForce GTX950 2GB, Palit StormX OC
- Hard-drive: 1000GB S-ATA2, 300MB/Sec.
- Operating system : Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
In the chance that I do need a new PSU. What would you guys suggest?
Thanks in advance to everyone!
