PROBLEM:
PC will not boot - intermittent
- no POST screen
  • Get clicking sound from internal speaker every 5 secs
  • no other warning sounds

HARDWARE:
Gigabyte GA-Z97P-D3
2 x G.Skill 8GBXL Main Memory DDR3 8 GB PC1600 CL9 Ram
Intel Core i7 4790, 1150, Haswell

FIXES TRIED:
- replaced m/b - thought I'd solved it - but then fault returned
- took out 1 RAM stick - then booted - but problem came back

Any ideas?

My only options left are to replace the PSU or both RAM chips.
