    Question Is this HDD completely dead ?

    I have Seagate Barracuda, can't find exact model. It seems like it died this morning. At first Intel Rapid Storage made a prompt saying that it is disabled, I did not pay much attention to it, when discovered a bit later that this disk is absent from my system. I rebooted it, and my system got...

    Question How to trace a culprit of PC being turned on in the night?

    PSU: ExeGate 1000PPX Should I try to reconnect power button cable to my mobo? Is there a point of trying to clean it? From what I understand this short that could activate PSU has to be connected to capacitors dying, or is there something else that cold trigger it?

    Question How to trace a culprit of PC being turned on in the night?

    How can they be related? If it was CMOS battery I would have BIOS reset each time when something like that happens, and it does not happen. Not sure if PSU can do something like that alone, to me it seems like problem is somewhere in mobo, I noticed that in some cases my PC was rebooted instead...

    Question How to trace a culprit of PC being turned on in the night?

    I never use sleep, that is an issue, it is always power off, and then boom, I wake up in the find because of cooler started to work and my system is on. So far the only reliable solution for me is power off on my PSU, I wondered why could that happen, especially it started to appear more often...

    Question How to trace a culprit of PC being turned on in the night?

    No, there is no movement in a house when that happens, and I checked my keyboard and mouse do nothing if I press them.

    Question How to trace a culprit of PC being turned on in the night?

    I did not try the switch itself, but I tried to disable power by power off on my PSU, I left it like that for a couple of days. I thought it could do something with capacitors if we think of them as a culprit. But I found my PC turned on this night again.

    Question Help diagnose my old dying rig problem ?

    I try memory test, but not sure if it helps. I would have way more stability issues and way often if it was memory issue. Anyway I do it right after I get new PSU. It feels more like CPU voltage issue. I mean I start my PC and see ASUS startup logo and system freeze with no reaction including...

    Question Help diagnose my old dying rig problem ?

    Sadly I don't have a second PSU. I'm going to buy new one on Monday after getting a paycheck on my job. It is most probable cause of an issue. It is my forth PSU from Chiftek of this series, all of them were 1250, all died in a year+ after I bought them. They all had serious margin in terms of...
