I built my PC in early '14 and recently had it storage for 1.5 years. It has been giving me a variety of errors since I recently started using it again and not running properly. Do you know of any fixes I can try for the situation written below?
Build:
OS: Windows 8.1 OEM 64-bit
CPU Intel i7 4700K 3.5 GHZ
MB: Asus Z-87-A ATX LGA1150
Mem: G.Skill - Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 Memory
HD: Samsung - 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" SSD
Seagate - Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
GPU: EVGA - GeForce GTX 760 2GB Dual Superclocked ACX Video Card
At first it would turn on but the red CPU light would turn on.Each time I restarted it, it would function differently: nothing would load, sometimes it would give me an overclocking error (I do not overclock it, it uses an Intel "K" model CPU), and one time it took over 30 minutes to load, then worked very slowly on my normal desktop. On that one time it began working normally, and even when I would turn it off and on and run normally.
A day later I accidentally unplugged it and the issues reverted. This time i went to my BIOS setting, trying this guide: http://sanuja.com/blog/how-to-fix-overclocking-failed-error. After I changed it to power saving mode and clicked on "advanced setting" the screen went black and the "Boot Device LED" was red, with no light on my CPU.
I have not found anyone who has had similar issues and solved it. Any help is much appreciated
