I'm not sure which category to put this in. This has been the most dumb founding problem I have had with this computer. One day I turned on my computer and the monitor stayed in stand-by mode. So I tried the monitor with my laptop and it worked, so it's not the monitor. I tried switching out my graphics cards and only using one. I thought it was my CPU. So i bought an 8 core CPU. I did a memtestx86 on each ram stick on a few passes and one stick didn't make it through one pass. After that, my computer has ran fine for a few days. Then all of a sudden, my computer froze. Went to turn it back on and it didn't post again. I turn off the psu, then on, turn on the computer and it posts and i'm able to get on my computer. If i restart the computer, it doesn't post. If I shut it down and then turn it back on it doesn't post. To make things easier i'll post my computer specs:
