Hello all,
I am posting this here because the people in the subforum are pretty knowledgeable, and many have used the components im about to list.
So 9 months ago I built my first iTx gaming computer (Specs will be at bottom). Everything has been going great up until about 2 weeks ago.
While playing CSS (counter-strike source) my computer just shut down. It shut down like it would if it a. overheated or b. lost power. There was no BSOD, lockup or freeze, or any noise at all just powered down. I know my CPU didnt overheat as I am using a puss/pull H60 on an i3 550. I quickly opened up my case and some stuff was warm, but with my IR thermometer nothing was hot (>55c).
I then unplugged the power and let it sit, plugged it back in but nothing. I kept doing this and eventually it powered up everything fine.
...No not really now starting yesterday it did again while idling, same issue.
What is weird is that if left alone it magically powers back up again. So i thought maybe the front switch panel was shorting so i unplugged everything including the USB header, and am using an old switch wire. Also things plugged into the usb ie my hdd, keyboard (ps2), and wifi adapter all show power but the comp just dosnt turn on.
My fear is that the PSU is going bad. So i ask this, has anyone experienced a similar problem with this mobo or PSU? What can i do before i have to rip my other PSU out of my main comp to test with this computer?
Thanks and specs below
SG05 - 450w
i3 550 3.2ghz
4gb Corsair ddr3 1600
Galaxy GTX 465
H60 Push/Pull GT Ap-13
Gigabyte H55n-usb3
