System Components:
Motherboard: MSI Z170A M7 Gaming
CPU: Intel i7 6700k
PSU: EVGA SuperNova 1000w
GPU: MSI Geforce GTX 980 ti 6G
SSD: 2 x Samsung m.2 850 EVO 500gb
RAM: G. Skill Ripjaws V Series 16gb 3200mhz
OS: Windows 10 Home Build 14393.222
Earlier today, when I started my computer, rather than loading windows normally, it loaded into a black screen whereas the mouse flickered slightly and had the loading animation ring. It seemed as though it was frozen, so I did a hard shut down, holding down the power button.
Soon after, I tried powering my computer up again, but there was no response. I tried the motherboard's power button and the same thing occurred, no response. So I switched off and unplugged the psu, waited about thirty seconds, and re-plugged/switched on the psu, then tried turning on the computer again. It wouldn't turn on, so I continued switching off and on the psu until it did turn on, and I thought nothing of the incident until later on in the day.
I've been experiencing glitches such as my start button not opening up the start menu, so I decided to use Window's media creation tool to do a fresh install.
After installing all my drivers, I restarted normally and then began installing my games.
I then left it to idle, and then it went to sleep because I had not adjusted the power settings.
The power button was blinking, but when I pushed it, the same thing happened when I first booted today.
I just realized that my computer had not been completely shut off the entire time I was using it, so this occurrence wasn't apparent to me. After it turned on, I tried to see if anything I did repeated, and had no luck.
It wouldn't necessarily turn back on if the psu was unplugged and replugged, but when it was on, it was able to continuously restart.
My situation seems similar to this post: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/281365-28-computer-shuts-wont-turn-back-unplug , but I don't understand:
"Its a dodgy display port lead with pin 20 (power connected through) when it shouldn't be as each end power the link. So the monitor on standby was injecting power into the motherboard that prevented all the PSU rails from fully decaying. The residual voltage obviously preventing a clean boot. Either turning off the monitor or removing DP lead allowed reliable boot up. Asus confirmed that this might not have been a problem on my previous motherboard (M2N) because it couldn't make use of the pin 20 power. Anyway it works so for anyone with boot problems and a monitor connected via a DP cable remove the cable and see it this fixes it."
All my connections seem secure and well managed and this is the first time something like this has happened to me since I built this rig back in Febuary. I don't know if by hard shutting down the pc caused a short or something, but the computer does still turn on. I don't believe it was updating either, when I did do the hard shut down.
My computer still works. I did a fresh install, changed the cmos battery, and removed my overclock.
I just noticed whenever I try to power up, the psu has a silent buzz for about 10 seconds and then stops
