Well, failing to boot *sometimes* I guess.
I built my PC last December and after a few issues with my MOBO which ended up with me getting two replacements, everything has been working fine. However, about a week ago I turned on my PC and noticed that the monitors never came up and showed the BIOS. My mouse is a Razer mouse so it was lit up, indicating everything was getting power, but no BIOS. So I held down the power button, shut off the PC, and turned it back on. Everything booted up fine, and I forgot about it.
Unfortunately, this has been happening every day for a week now. Everytime I get home from work, I turn on my PC, and I usually need to power it down once (or, as is becoming more frequent, power it down twice...) before it finally boots to Windows. Once it's up and running, it has no problems whatsoever from what I can tell.
Any ideas? Is this another sign that my MOBO is dying yet again?
This is what my build looks like:
