Hello all! I built myself a new pc and am having some problems. This problem has happened a lot lately.
This is what happens when I turn on my pc and everything works:
-Fans spin up.
-Leds light up.
-Graphics card goes to 100% and then to 5% (note: this is normal).
-POST
-Windows
But this is what has been happening lately:
-Fans spin up.
-No leds (on front of PC - no leds for HDD activity, etc - don't light up)
-Graphics card goes to 100% and stays there.
-Monitor recieves no signal (as if it isn't connected).
-No POST
-Nothing.
I have to hardware restart for the pc to start up correctly and run. Note that it is 100% stable when in Windows, it's just that sometimes it doesn't start...
What could be the cause of this? Motherboard? PSU (although, the fans DO run...)? CPU? Ram?
I'm so worried right now, this is my first build.. I appreciate all your help!
