I have recently upgrade the GFX and CPU on my PC and am having intermittent startup problems. I push the "on" button and nothing happens. On other occasions it will be fine and when it starts up everything runs smoothly. My current kit is.
Epox 9nda3+ Motherboard
Ati X1950 Pro Gfx
Opteron 165
Corsair 2GB PC3200
80Gb Hard Drive
Hiper 580 PSU
The PSU is the obvious culprit, both in terms of the symptoms and the amount of failures reported on this board. However, in it’s defence I have had no problems with it and it has never made any worrying noises to suggest it is on the verge of failing. I appreciate the new graphics card will be drawing a lot more from it than it has in the past. but would this cause these symptoms. As I said above once the pc starts everything is fine: Priming, benchmarking and games.
Any help would be appreciated.
