Hello,
My PC just switched off the other day, and wont switch on. I have narrowed it down to the 12V ATX plug (that powers the CPU). When I plug this into the mobo, the PC starts for 2 seconds and then shuts down. Everything I have read suggests this is a mobo failure.
I built my current PC in Feb 2008, so 6.5 years is not too bad out of that setup. In Feb 2008 I built
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS4 iP35 Socket 775
4GB DDR-2 RAM
Gigabyte GTX 460 OC 1GB (this was added in August 2011)
So I am looking for a new mobo, CPU and RAM only. My budget is about £300.
I am not interested in overclocking, and I am only a casual gamer (about 5 hours a week) currently playing Bioshock Infinite.
I am hoping to keep the existing graphics card, PSU 750W, HDDs and ATX size case.
Any recommendations appreciated.
How does this look:
Gigabyte GA-Z97-HD3, Intel Z97, Socket 1150, Motherboard
Intel Core i5 4460 Quad Core Processor Socket 1150
Corsair Desktop Memory 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz
Many thanks
Paul
