I was playing Starcraft 2 with high settings then one day my entire PC powered off! I tried pressing the power button but nothing happens. After about 10 minutes, my PC turns back on by its self???
I've been reading different forums with people who are having the same problem, and they suggested that it was SC2 not anything else. However, in my case, there have been a few times, since the initial power off, that my PC just turns off randomly. Sometimes it happens when just surfing the internet. I unplugged the power supply for about 5 minutes, then the PC was able to boot up.
Last night, I was playing SC 2 on high settings again, and it did it again! This time it wont turn back on? Even when I unplugged the PSU for 10 minutes?
I thought it might be an overheating problem with either the CPU/GPU, but I was monitoring those temps using RealTemp, Core Temp, and CPUZ-ID, but my CPU only got to about 52 deg on any of the cores and my GPU only maxed at around 62 deg??
When I have the PSU switched on, I can see the green LED on my mobo indicating that there is power to the board, but the damn thing will not power up!!
Here are my system specs:
CPU - Intel i7-950
Mobo - Asus Sabertooth x58
Memory - 6GB (3x2GB) Corsair Dominator DDR3-1600
PSU - Corsair TX750W (I read this may be the problem)
GPU - EVGA Nvidia GTX 460 Superclocked 1GB
HDD - 1TB WD caviar blue
SSD - 2 Intel X-25M 80GB
7 case fans - 6x120mm and 1x200mm
Antec 1200 case
HSF - Coolermaster Hyper 212+ with and additional 120mm fan.
I believe I've narrowed it down to either my PSU or my mobo, but I'm not sure how to tell exactly? Or is it something else?
PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks.
