I've been having some strange issues with my new build skylake rig. I have the i5 6600k chip, an Asus Z170-A mobo, 16gb of DDR4 Kingston Hyper X Fury, 2666mhz. PSU is a super flower 550W, gold standard, modular. Samsung Evo 250gb ssd, plus 2tb seagate SHDD.
When I built the system, tried to power up, no POST. Just fans spinning and 2 green LED's on mobo.
Scratching my head for ages, trying to figure out what was going wrong. I followed all the usual troubleshooting steps, looked at a lot of websites, trying to find a solution, even breadboarding the system, clearing CMOS etc, but rang overclockers, they said it maybe a mobo issue. So I RMA'd the motherboard, and received a replacement a few days later.
So I rebuilt the system, and tested it out, before fixing it into the case. It worked, so I installed the rest of the components. So everything was looking good, managed to install windows 10, and all the other software that I wanted, so all good.
So after a few hours of using my new PC, all of a sudden, the PC immediately shut off and restarted by itself. I have never seen this before. Then about 15 mins later it did it again. So I thought, that some sort of fail safe was kicking into action, and I switched off the PC for night.
The next day, I go to switch on the system, and I'm back to square 1, the system wasn't even going to POST. What an earth was going on? I stripped down the system again to breadboard, and everything was removed, except the CPU, HSF, and 1 stick of memory. Then switched on, and it POSTED, then put it all back together again, updated the BIOS on the motherboard. Everything was fine again, no switching off by itself.
Next day go to switch on, and no POST, just fan spinning on CPU, case fans and GPU fan. I'm at a loss, to why this happening. I've ordered from eBay a PC POST analyser, so that should be here in a few days.
If anyone has any other suggestions, to what's going on, please advise.
Cheers
