I have a problem with my soon to be server rig (buying new bits for my personal rig)
Anyway, A while ago a few symptoms started a while ago. I'd turn the PSU on and the Motherboard light would come on accordingly, but the computer just wouldn't turn on. Everything connected up okay.
If i left it on for a while then tried (using the switch directly on mobo) It would load up fine and run solid. It would only do it again if I left it unplugged from the mains for a while.
Taking computer to girlfriends house, Same problem but was easily fixed as it would randomly switch on okay.
Recently decided to swap out the awful DFI fan with a thermalright sli thing. At the same time i gave my system a complete strip down and rebuilt, dusted everything, fans, mobo, even the power supply.
Upon rebuilding i plugged everything together according and yes, you guessed it! same problem. Though the motherboard light was on so i though, meh! i'll try it in the morning. When i woke up the motherboard LED was off. the rear PSU led was on. Switching the PSU on and OFF made no difference. So either that PSU LED is no way an indication that the psu is working. Or the motherboard was on it's way out for a long time and has finally snuffed it?
thoughts?
thanks,
joe
