Asus Crosshair 3 formula no boot but powers up.

Hi guys,

Noticed that my MB whenever it "wants" powers up but no image, either I have to push the reset button and that's it and sometimes I have to replug the memories and or unplug the power cable (noticed that sometimes I replug the cable, turn the power supply switch on and the computer inmidieately powers on , without touching case button) then the led that shows the overclock for ram does no light up.

Sounds like a PSU going bad - do you have or can you borrow one to test with

I wish it's not the cause, cause I changed it almost a year ago (the ezcool I had ), this one is an EVGA bronze 750w, I do not have one now (i'll see if I can borrow one) I incremented tonight a lil bit the voltage on BIOS for DRAM and I'll keep a close eye on it.

To add more, not all the screws are in place on the MOBO. I tend to think that it could be making contact somewhere, but then I guess it would not give image at all if that was the case.


*(it's being happening for quite a while)

It could well be shrting on the mobo if not having all stndoffs and screws

I'll go to a shop and buy them all new and keep you guys posted.

Thank you!

Hey guys, It's been more than a week since I incremented Voltage, it's has not happened again so far, ( did not add any screws)

If I notice something, I'll reply again.

Thanks!
