Hey everyone,
I had an issue start up the other night, when I noticed that the pump on my water cooling loop for my CPU was off. I started getting BSODs, which I presume were caused by my overheating CPU (It was getting up to 105C, with the pump working full load never exceeds 60C).
Today, it happened again (for the third time within a week). The 2nd time it happened, I turned off my PC for 10 minutes and then back on, and it worked just fine. Today, it happened and after two attempts at my before mentioned remedy, I had no luck.
So I took my PC out of it's little corner of my room, put it up on a table in my kitchen, opened it up, and started checking connections, everything is fine. I put it back together, closed everything up, and now the USBs on the back aren't working. My keyboard is backlit, and it would flash irregularly. But when I plug my mouse and keyboard into the front USB 3.0 slots, it works.
Originally, I thought my liquid cooler was going out -- now I'm not so sure. It's starting to look more and more like my motherboard is going out. By the way, this build is about 4 months old now with the CPU and motherboard. I upgraded those in early July, but kept everything else (like the PSU and Video cards).
I'm probably going to email them for an RMA, especially since I haven't done anything to mod the PC besides overclocking the CPU (and I didn't mess with any of the settings that would void a warranty). Does anyone have any thoughts? Am I maybe looking at the wrong part somehow? I don't think it's the CPU, and I don't think it'd be the PSU (Heck, I've been running two GTX 670's on my 850W PSU for about 6 months now and haven't had any issues)
