So this problem started a couple of weeks ago, my PC only boots SOMETIMES, when i turn it on, all fans spin, everything running but no display whatsoever, monitor light stays orange. I say sometimes because out of 15-20 tries sometimes it does boot and it remains on for as long as i want it to with no problems, but if i do have to restart or turn it off, the problem comes back.
A few things to note: i tested monitor, psu, gpu, ram and ssd/hdd in different pc, these work fine.
Also, motherboard and cpu are about 7 years old if that makes any difference.
Is it normal for a cpu or mobo to fail to boot like this but when it does boot it works perfectly?
Am i looking at a dead cpu or mobo? If so, how to identify which one?
Specs:
AMD FX 6300 3.5 GHZ
MSI 970A-G43
CM Hyper 212 EVO
2x 4 GB Corsair Vengeance 1600 MHz
GTX 750 ti
SSD Samsung EVO 950 250GB
EVGA 500B
