ram test all most done 93% with no errors
i dont even get that far redeye nothing appears on screen just the fans turning except gpu fan.
i think sja if you seen same thing ill go with that ,now what do i do should i send it back (oc or manufacturer as it could have been caused by something else) or buy a new one
me places forehead 6inches from wall and bangs repeatedly
work at sea and have been away for half the time ive owned it

I think the one key difference here is that my GPU fan does spin when this happens, where as you have mentioned yours doesn't. I think this definitely points to a power issue.

walks back to wall ,well memory test was fine dunno what to do now

sorry to bring this post back up again but im still having the same problems have tried everything really stuck now,found that switching power switch at back of pc helps but tonight the wife put pc in sleep mode and I couldnt get the pc to load up again and havent managed to get pc to load up again since, just the same fans spin except gfx card fan
