I'm literally about to pull my hair out with this one. Let's start at beginning...I built the following a couple years back
Fx 6300
As rock 970 mobo
2x4gb crucial tactical tracer 1600mhz
212s cooler
120gb SanDisk ssd
500gb WD green
Cx 600m corsair psu
Msi hd 780
All was fine for around 6 months. I then decided to overclock a little and bought a h80i cooler. But after not really getting very far I reset back to stock. After another month or so the pc would sometimes not boot and after a couple of goes of pulling the cord and plugging back in it would finally post stating overclock failed. Even though no overclock was set. To resume I would enter bios set defaults and boot normally.
After a while I replaced mobo to Asus 970 board and again this continued. I then changed psu to an antec high current gamer 750w modular supply. Still no overclock and no problems for a while.
Then it started again and sometimes it would boot but no power to mouse. So would have to unplug mouse and plug in again. I replaced mobo for msi gaming 970. Also changed cooler to raijintek triton 240. Everything fine until today.
I switched the comp on earlier and it displayed msi gaming logo then a long beep for around 2 secs then black screen with one line of mixed random characters. Kind of like windings font. I powered off and on again. Same happened. So I powered off then power on whilst holding the bios entry key. Entered bios reset to default and booted fine. Frightened to turn computer off now!
I have ordered an r9 390 which should arrive Monday so that will rule out the gpu leaving only ram and cpu. What can be causing this?
Sorry for wall of text but really bugging me now as this was meant to be a budget build but the money I have spent I could have built an Intel rig! I just want to resolve this now.
