Ok so this PC was my first build so I'll apologise in advance for any noobie comments or mistakes.
Now I'm not sure if the issues are related so I'll just post it all here.
I've been gathering parts for this build since last September (2014) and finally managed to get it built over the summer, it worked fine for 3 months until in September I shut the PC down one night and it wouldn't turn on in the morning.
I'm talking no life at all really, the lights on the mobo would flash when I turned the PSU on but after that it stayed dark. I ended up replacing the PSU and the mobo and it worked fine. 3 weeks later it happened again.
I found out that other people with that mobo were having a similar issue and that there were some issues with that mobo and Corsair PSU's (which mine is) and there fore it changed the Gigabyte mobo for a MSI mobo.
Now I put it all together again and it worked fine. now 3 days after putting it together and while it will power on and that issue hasn't returned I'm having the following issue with my rig.
It started with me having to make sure the TV was turned on before the PC or i'd have to restart the pc as the TV wouldn't detect an input signal. now I'm having the issue that it wont detect a signal at all, the mobo has a debug code of 26 which i think is to do with 'early southbridge initialization' but not sure. I've tried my RAM and PSU in another PC and they're fine.
I'm really worried my Rig is a MOBO Killer. not really sure where to proceed from here. any advice?
