Whenever I am done using the computer for the day, I would normally shut it down safely without any problem. However, the next day there will always be a 60% chance when the PC first boot up it will start giving me the following beep code:1 long beep, 2 short beeps.

Now I know that the code Indicates a video error and as of right now the only way to get around it is to power down the computer, unplug the one of the 8-pin power connector and plug it back again and it will boot normally for the day, even under intense gaming. No crashing, overheating, or showing any sign of defects. I could play Assassin's Creed for hours.

What puzzled me is that what could cause my computer to behave like this? It's been going on for months now and I'm getting annoyed by it. I've already tried taking out the graphics card and clean it with compressed air thoroughly. I even tried cleaning the PCI-e slot and the issue still persist.

Could it be my Motherboard? PSU? GPU?

1 long, 2 short

Monitor or displlay card error.

Double check all internal connections and card seatings. Especially those that are video/display related.

My thought is that some connection is loose. When the computer is booted, the connectivity initially fails and the system subsequently fails to boot. However the problem component/connection does warm up enough to "tighten" the connection (expansion) and then boot.

Examine the connectors and other components carefully and gently when the computer is cold, powered off, and unplugged.

Look for some "wiggle"...

Look for some "wiggle" in the connections.
