Hey there

A problem has arisen on my pc.
After a long shutdown (the night), when I boot up my pc, it does not succesfully boot into windows. It gets stuck at the logo.
Sometimes, I even get a blue screen

I thought it was a unstable overclock, so I cmos the MB, everything is @stock now.
But still, this morning, I got the same problem.

Although once it's powered, I can reboot as many times as I want, no problem

What's happening ?
 
Have a look in "event viewer" and see what is listed for the times it failed to boot. Also, what did your bluescreen say.
Can you post your full spec.

What is "event viewer" ?

The bluescreen is like 1 tenth of a second and then it reboots so I wouldn't know what it says...

Full spec:
Fractal Design Arc midi
ASUS M4A79t deluxe
AMD Phenom 2 x4 965
H100 cpu cooler
4 GB DDR3 Corsair
MSI Radeon 7950
1 SSD Crucial m4 128 GB
2 HDD 7200 rpm
multiple fans 140mm
 
Also, I have a HX620W as PSU. I recently posted a thread on it, because it makes a clicking sound
Might that be related?
 
Kernel power error. Here is the log, but I've got no idea what it means ?

Have you installed any new hardware, ram, etc. Or have you made any changes in the bios.
Check your bios for core voltage and ram setting(make sure these are the same as writen on the ram sticks). As these can cause instability. Event ID 41 may indicate low core voltage.

Oh yes, I actually changed a lot of things recently:

- changed the cpu (955 to 965)
- put a ssd
- changed the ram (4GB Gskill to 8GB Corsair DDR3)
- changed the graphics card (4890 to 7950)
- changed the cooler (H100)
- put a lot of fans
 
Just read your thread on the Psu. Do you have another one you can use or know someone who lend you one to see if the boot problem still persists.
If you have not made any changes in the bios(apart from the voltage change you made today), then it could be your Psu.

Thanks for helping me out :)

The two problem might be correlated as they occured around the same time, but unfortunately I changed so many things on my pc the last few weeks that it's hard to tell.
Anyway, I asked Corsair and they accepted a RMA request, so I'm sending it away. In the meantime I bought another PSU so I will know pretty soon if that was the power supply
 
Yep will do, will be tomorrow hopefully. I'm getting the same one actually, but the new version, a corsair hx650w
Should be good, yes?
