Hi all,
So I've had a bit of an issue for a while now.
Initially, I thought this was down to one of the core components in my build, such as the CPU/RAM/Motherboard.
Unfortunately, I've replaced all these components recently and I am still getting the same issue. I am now left with two 'old' components, my OCZ 700w GameXtreem PSU and my recently purchased (from 2nd hand) Palit GTX 570.
The issue comes in two flavours.
Firstly, I can power on my PC, hear the fans/hard drives begin to spin and continue, but no POST. No lights coming on on the keyboard, no response from my monitor. I have to manually power down the machine and keep trying to turn it back on, it usually comes on before 10 retries, sometimes i have to remove the power lead from the case and wait 2 minutes.
Secondly, this is more rare but has started more recently, the unit won't power up at all. No response when pressing either the power button on the case or on the motherboard.
I have gutted out the PSU and I am now running the system using my IGP.
I am also running a modest overclock on my chip, a 3570k running @ 4.4ghz which runs fine on a stress test (Prime95).
This however still doesn't convince me the fault lies with 1 particular component, so is there any software or practical test I can perform or has anyone had any experience with this issue?
Thanks
