Hi there,
I have probably the weirdest pc problem. It started with not booting once in a while. If it boots it works flawlessly. (no graphics problem, no unintentional reset or shutting off etc) Then these boot problems had become more often day by day. Now it doesnt boot at all...
The machine starts as usual, fans are turning etc. But boot sequence stops at VGA light. The white light stays lit. Nothing on the screen, not even the BIOS screen...
I tried other power cables, changed the placements of the RAM's, tried the other pci express slot etc. but they didn't make any difference.
And when I installed my old gfx card (a radeon 4850) it worked. So I thought it was a gfx card problem and I sent my gfx card to a repair service and after a long time they returned me and said "there is no problem with this gfx card, it works every time". They suggest me to look for a PSU or MOBO problem and I took my card, went home, installed it and it worked at first! Then it didn't again and again (tried about 20 times).
Took my case to a repair shop to test it with other PSU or MOBO, but it worked there! The guy started the machine over and over and it booted every time! Took it to another shop, again it worked...
But it doesn't work at my home!
I bought a new PSU, with all new power cables, but no difference. Bought a UPS, connected the PC with it, no difference...
Bought a new MOBO, no difference...
With these prices I can't buy a new gfx card just for testing, and I don't have any friend who has a modern gfx card.
Doesn't work at home, doesnt work at my office, but works at repair shop.
Any suggestions?
