Setup:
- MB: Gigabyte GA-H77-DS3H
- RAM: 2x Kingston ValueRAM - 8 GB : DIMM 240-pins - DDR3
- CPU: Intel Core i5 3470 / 3.2 GHz
- PSU: Corsair VX450 Watt
- Samsung SSD 850 EVO 500 GB
- GPU: Asus Nvidia GTX960 turbo
When I turn on the computer, the case fans and GPU fan spin, and the CPU fan gives a very short movement, like its trying to wake up. After about 10-15 seconds, the other fans stop. After a few more seconds, the process repeats. During this time, I am not getting visuals on my screen (no input) and periferals are not lighting up.
In the first round of troubleshooting, I thought it was the PSU, since I'm running some pretty heavy hardware on a modest power supply (especially the GPU) and it looked like the MB/CPU fan was not getting enough power. So I unplugged all "unnecessary" power consuming things (GPU, one stick of RAM, peripherals, SSD, case fans) and still have the same problem: fan gives a little tick, then dies.
I then cleaned out all the dust from the case, fans, CPU heatsink. Found lots of dust though, so it definitely didn't hurt to clean everything out.
Cold booting doesn't fix anything, altough the trouble did start after a series of hot days.
My MB does not have an onboard speaker, so I can't do any of the beep-troubleshooting, which is too bad.
Any help?
I'm posting this in Motherboards because the MB currently seems like the one causing the trouble. Any advice is greatly appreciated!
