Hello, this is my first post.
I've been having issues with my rig lately.
Occasionally when I try to power on my rig only the cpu/gpu fans and the usual motherboard lights turn on but no case fans or any display output.
I've also found that 2 pins on the 24pin mainboard connector were melted and there was some scarring on the motherboard side where those pins belong.
Regardless of the melted pins, my computer will run properly sometimes unless the issue above arises at which point I would remove the mainboard connector and reconnect it. That usually temporarily fixes the issue for maybe a day of use.
Today however, after trying the usual quick fix I tried to test turning on my pc to see if everything turns on properly and when I pressed the power button on my case there was an obvious power surge and something inside my psu fried hence the smell of burning electronics that came soon afterwards. This surge killed the power to my room and I needed to reset the fuse box.
This is the second time I fried my psu like this in a month. I am going to RMA my 2nd psu tomorrow.
My real concern is I have no idea what could be causing this issue or anything else mentioned. I'm worried that this will happen again once I get the psu replaced.
Please help! Any information would be greatly appreciated.
My components are as follows:
-Coolermaster HAF-X case
-ASUS Formula IV socket AM3, AMD 890FX/SB850 (chipset?)
-AMD Phenom II 1100T X6 3.3ghz stock (OC'd to 3.8ghz) with Coolermasters V8 CPU fan
-2x Geforce GTX 580 in SLI OC'd to 920/1840/2100 stable (using hacked bios to force SLI on a XFire mobo)
-8gb Patriot Division 2 Viper Xtreme ddr3 Ram 1866mhz (says designed for intel on the box so only runs at 1600mhz)
-Sparkle Gold Class 1250 Watt PSU
-Windows 7 64-bit
This was my first serious build and I was considerably less knowledgeable about builds than I am now.
Thank you ahead of time for your help!
