Hello all. I'm guessing this is the right place for this.

Ever since a week ago, I've been having a problem with my PC just occasionally not booting, or posting. The fans run extremely loudly, and no display is on the monitor.
What has me confused is some days it works fine, and some days it doesn't, so I'm starting to worry.

so again
I press power
Fans run max speed
Have to force turn off computer
Or sometimes it will start normally

Specs:
3rd Generation Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2820X processor [3.6GHz, 15MB Shared Cache]
24GB DDR3-1600MHz [4 DIMMs]
2TB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
GTX 660 1.5 GB

My computer is directly from HP. It's 2 years old as of yesterday. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Try one stick of RAM at a time. If they all do that, unplug the system from wall power, reset the BIOS using the jumpers on the motherboard, hold in the power button for about 15 seconds and check it again. If that does not work then try a different power supply. If that also does not work, it could be a motherboard issue. Fans spinning up like that is often a bad motherboard.
