Hello everyone,
I've been running an Asrock Extreme4 Z77 rig with an i7 3770K since July of this year. For the most part, it's been pretty stable, but i did have some weird RAM issues that were resolved by a bios update.
Today, when I came home from school, I attemped to boot up my PC. The case LEDs, case fans, CPU fans and GPU fans would all come on for about two seconds, then the system would lose all power.
Upon inspection, I checked for shorts in the motherboard mounting and found nothing. I removed all components (hard drives, GPUs, RAM) and have been testing the system outside of my case on a cardboard box for now.
The system continues to exhibit the same behavior with only the CPU, one hard drive and one stick of ram plugged in, with no chance for a short. I did the paper clip test on the PSU and it seems to be working.
After all of this testing, I am probably going to conclude that it is a mother board issue, since it seems to be the root of the issue. Has anyone had issues with this particular motherboard exhibiting this behavior? What do you think could be causing this?
Thanks for checking my post!
