Alright, a storm recently knocked power out in my area. I was without electricity for 6 days, when power was restored I plugged in my surge protector but waited an hour before turning my pc on. At first I got no power at all. I left it plugged in, went to work the next day and when I got home and tried it again it worked. Stayed on for a few hours and then it just shutdown. When I tried booting up after that it would literally just flick on and back off.
I tested the motherboard and it was fine, tested the power supply and that was fine as well. The next day I woke up and tried again and it was back to getting no power at all. I took it to a pc repair store and the tech tested the power supply and motherboard himself and said they were both in working order. He reconnected everything and tried it and the system powered on again and ran like normal.
Fast forward and I brought it home, set it up and powered on, it ran like normal for the rest of the day. I shut it down and went to bed, woke up this morning and tried it again. Came on like normal, ran for a few hours and then it shutdown by itself and went back to flicking on and off whenever I try to power it on. I'm finding that it stays on longer the longer I leave it turned off. If I try to power it on immediately after it shutdown it will just flick on and off.
If I give it a few hours between attempts it will run for a few hours before shutting down again. This lead me to believe it was a temperature issue so I monitored temps the last time I powered it on, CPU temp was 41 degrees and GPU temp was 38 degrees. My system usually runs silent but since this morning I find that whenever i power it on one of the fans I running on high.
