PC randomly will not boot, no power is going through the MOBO
When i turn the PC off for the night then wake up I find no power going through it, My first thoughts are a dry joint, but all the components are brand brand new. When i tilt it, or punch it if need be the power usually suddenly flows back through the mobo. I have checked for lose connection on the mobo and power supply, but none are visable. Does anybody have any idea where to start on this?
On another note, sometimes it takes ages to start, then when the monitor comes on it says in the BIOS running in safe mode, please re-set speeds.
You may have the finest of everything else, but the power supply is bargain-bin at £55. You should get a Hiper or an Antec.
The board is too new to have capacitor issues. Forget that.
Are you sure that the CPU is mounted properly and properly greased?
When I asked about components, I meant drives and PCI cards. You need to compute the load on your power supply.
Let's focus on the BIOS "Safe Mode" problem. This would indicate a very low-level issue. My guess is a poor power source, a bad motherboard battery or mismatched RAM (for your motherboard).
Another possibilty is that the CMOS Clear jumper is improperly set to "clear" you need to check that.
The board is jumperless, theres no cmos clear, theres an option in the BIOS to do it. The RAM is OCZ® Special Operation Edition 2GB DDR2 PC2-5400 667Mhz, 4-4-4-12 Dual Channel Kit with Spec Ops Camouflage Heatspreader
The attachment is .xml an excel thingy, ill try change it to html
I have a voltage and temp meter on the LCD display on the front of the case, what should i be looking for, it doesnt go above 40C for the CPU
HAHAHA camo, ^^ yea, i just copied and pasted from microdirects website, the case is really bright :P. Open the .xml sheet with your browser and it should work fine. Thats got everything you need on it.
Ok, have check the temps in the BIOS, Its at a steady 43C and the voltage is shown as "default" theres no actual numbers.
Yea its not working, is all jabber even when I save it as anything else, I had to resort to screen shots, its not great quality, but its all imageshack would allow, since I can't remember my password to my ftp server I can't use it for now.
