Do i have a PSU problem?

khevolution · 10 Jun 2012 at 17:27

Recently built my own pc (spec in sig) and for the first few days it was running great, but when i turned my computer on yesterday morning, it tried to start up then stopped, then start up again etc etc and the cycle continued until i un-plugged it.

Checked all connections and all seems fine, evenutally it does boots up and it runs fine, but once i try to turn on again, the cycle starts again

only thing in my limited knowledge tells me is that this could be a PSU problem, could it be anything else

here the video

What is the make / model of your PSU?

Another option is try one memory module at a time, sometimes these have coursed me issues in the past.

OCZ ZT series 750w

when you mean memory modual, do you mean stick of ram?

cool well typically i just switched my pc off and turned it back on to record what i mean, and it turned on fine, i suspect though as its been on for most of the day, i didnt give it enough time to settle down, will try again after dinner

Have yoe tried resetting the BIOS back to default?

khevolution · 11 Jun 2012 at 23:01

yeah tried it, even though i haven touched anything in the bios

Did you try one stick of ram?
Can you remove GPU and plug your monitor in to your motherboard output?

khevolution · 11 Jun 2012 at 23:24

tried both and still no luck, been searching around a bit and the only thing i can think of is that my BIOS is out of date, and doesnt like the ivybridge CPU? is that a possibility?

soundesciple · 11 Jun 2012 at 23:34

Could be, ive heard some mobo's need updating before they will even see I/B CPU's so try a new update.

Or another PSU if you can get hold of one.

would that explain though why it does sometimes boot up fine, but about 80-90% of the time i have this problem?
