By "no longer POSTing" in my case, I am unable to get the boot-up screen that allows me to enter BIOS, as well as Windows. I just get a flickering black screen.
Build
Intel i5-2500k
Asus P8Z68-M Pro
Sapphire Radeon HD 6870
Corsair Vengeance Blue 16gb
Antec BP550 Plus
Samsung 830 SSD 128gb
Seagate Barracuda 3 TB GREEN
I have had my system for over a year. It has performed very well over the coarse of that time with the only curious thing being that whenever I would turn on the computer the PS would turn off after three seconds and turn itself on again, then proceed to boot up the system as normal.
I decided to install a secondary HDD because an SSD and external wasn't enough for my needs. I purchased the 3 TB Seagate and installation was a breeze. It integrated pretty decently with my system. The only noticeable thing was that it added ten seconds of start up on the "Starting Windows" screen.
After two days since installing the 3 TB Seagate, I noticed that my system went to sleep on me when I had it on for about five hours. I turned off the power button, restarted the system, used it for another half an hour, and proceeded to properly shut down the system. That was the last time I was able to boot the computer.
What happens is as follows.
1. The PS no longer stalls like I mentioned, it stays on.
2. Computer does not POST and no BIOS start up shows up, and I can't enter if I press Delete.
3. Needless to say, Windows does not start up.
4. My LED monitor flickers, but nothing shows up.
5. I get only one short beep from the speaker, which has always been the case when I turn on the computer.
What I did to try to fix the problem were the following. Results were all the same as I stated above.
1. Removed the secondary HD
2. Unplugged and replugged all the power connectors
3. Reset BIOS with jumper switched to 2-3 pins for ten minutes. Switched back to 1-2 pins.
4. Attempted to turn on computer with only motherboard, processor, two sticks of memory.
I've had problems before, but this is the the worst considering I can't even enter BIOS. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
