Hi...
Just built a new Computer. Specs are in my profile thingy.
Everything seemed fine for a week, then one day when i powered up, it started to boot for a split second, then went dead. After that it was totally dead (no power). After coming back to it a few hours later, it powered up, started the post test, then froze when it came to the memory test. And did so everytime after that. So i poked and prodded inside, making sure all cards are fitted properly and it powered up ok...
On the motherboard is a daughterboard(?) which is a dual phase power supply to help the PSU...
Its done this several times, and after prodding about it fires up ok everytime... Any idea what could be causing this??? I'm thinking it might be that the dual phase power supply thingy is working itself loose, failing and causing a drop in power/wattage, which in-turn doesn't give enough beef to fire up the system...
Oh - my 12V is 14A, but with the dual phase thingy, god knows what total output i have....
Is it the PSU?? Or any other ideas??
