Afternoon all,
Hope you are having a pleasant weekend.
I put together a build a few weeks back with help from this great forum, and it has been running flawlessly for that time. BF4 on ultra for hours at a time with the GPU and PSU at nice low temperatures etc (circa 75 deg c and 45 deg c respectively).
Having put my computer to sleep (accidentally, as when I leave it I prefer to turn it off fully, given how rapid it is to start-up), on my return after maybe 30mins to an hour, I pressed the front panel's power switch to switch it on again, and I got half a second or so of lights and fans. Then nothing. The mobo's power light was on though. Pressed the power switch a second time, and this time no fans or lights at all.
I unplugged it from the mains, waited for a few minutes (mobo's power light went off) and I plugged it back in, and pressed the front panel's power button:
- Half a second of lights (on the front panel's power button LED, PSU water cooler and mobo's 'numerical display')
- Half a second of fans (fans ran in the PSU, GPU, CPU's water-cooling radiator and all case fans; i.e. all the fans.)
I have tried to follow thegeneral troubleshooting guide, including the 'hotwire' test, which showed the PSU to power a fan just fine.
I have reset the CMOS too, and shorted the front panel's power button switch, which resulted in the exact same half-second of fans and lights as using the switch itself.
My build specs are:
Does anyone have any good ideas as to what I can try next?
I haven't yet managed to check if it's the reset button perhaps doing something iffy, as I can't find a way of disconnecting it.
Any ideas at all would be greatly appreciated.
Hugh
