Hi all,
A weird one here... I have been having all sorts of weird issues with my PC. I thought it was the GPU (GTX570) as it was getting artefacts, I replaced it (GTX970). Thought it was the motherboard (ASUS P6T Deluxe v2) as when I removed the RAM/GPU it wouldn't beep, replaced it.
(Upgraded RAM during all of this as well as there was periods where the PC worked)
So yesterday I got the new motherboard (supermicro x8sti-f), I had just bought a X5660 so thought I might as well set up a home server with it when I upgrade my whole system later in the year.
But it had different issues. With the RAM not installed the board I would get the beep indicating as much (yay getting somewhere) but then install RAM (both new and old) and nothing.
So at this point I went to work, liberated my PC (custom workstation with enough components for me to do some more problem solving) switch out power supplies and BOOM it all works.
I put the old PSU in my works PC it powers on fine. Put it back in my PC it powers on fine.
So TL;DR changed PSU in my system it works after a month of trouble shooting. Put it in another system it works, put it back in my system it works.... Do I RMA it anyway?
Could it have just been a loose connection on the PSU side (modular)?
