Help Diagnosing problem

Having a strange issue with my PC so though I would consult the general genius of you lot

At the weened I turned my PC off at night. When turing on the next morning the PC powered up but no power seemed to be reaching the keyboard/mouse and nothing was reaching the Monitor.

I took it apart bit by bit, turning it on with different parts connected to no avail. I moved my GFX card to a different PCI e slot that usually holds my sound card and it worked.

Moved everything back to normal and it worked fine. Thought it was just something was loose and needed re-seated so thought nothing more of it.

Came home from work today to find the pc seemed to be in sleep mode. Fans were spinning etc but nothing reaching the monitor. Reset the machine and encountered the same issue.

Did the same, re-seated some of the components, removed some peripherals and the issues seems to be sorted again. However all my BIOS settings have been cleared. This is now worrying me so thought I would check if anyone had encountered the same issue.

I thought mabey a component was causing it and was on the way out, possibly my GFX card?

I have also considered that it may be a power problem. I have a Dark Power Pro 750 watt but that should comfortably run the rig in my sig. However at any one time I can have the following on my PC

Asus 5850
Xonar DX2 Soundcard
vertex 2 SSD
a 1tb and a 500gb drive
Fan Controller
6 Fans
2 port usb 3.0 pci card
connected via USB:
Blackberry
iPhone
iPod Shuffle
Competition pro Joypad
Razer Mouse / Saitek keyboard

not sure how much power that much would draw.

Anyone have any ideas?

cheers

The BIOS settings being cleared means its merely failed to boot properly one time and has reverted to default as a safety measure, hopefully you had them saved in an OC profile
Its possible the NB which controls USB isnt getting enough power, you could try bumping up the voltage slightly in the BIOS
I doubt its a power issue re the PSU as thats more than ample
You could alternatively try a BIOS update/flash, if still no joy Id suspect the mobo, if its under warranty you could try for a replacement

Cheers mate, didn't consider the power to the NB so will have a play about with that. Since my BIOS setting cleared it's an excuse to redo my overclock anyway.
