I'm running a basic PC with AMD X2 CPU on an old Gigabyte GA970A motherboard, and 4GB RAM, with an R9 380x 4GB GPU and a 750watt bronze PSU, for simple ethereum mining.
So as you can guess, the PC runs 24hrs to continue mining.
For last few months, it's running fine, but last few days, it just dies randomly, and doesn't switch back on, even when I press the power button.
I opened the system, unplug and plug the connectors back, and it comes back alive, but again dies sometime after few hours; no fixed pattern. It's been 3-4 times like this and everytime after fiddling with the connectors, it comes alive again, and runs smooth for few hours, before dying suddenly.
I checked the PSU itself with the shorting green-black wires technique, and it seems to be fine. So my doubt is on the mobo now. Heat is not the issue, as I've 5 fans on the Cooler-master casing in addition to 1 on CPU and 2 on the GPU itself. The temperatures are well in control, inside the box.
Any ideas what can I do to monitor, when and how the system dies?
