my pc is 1 yr old, my issue has been happening for quite a while now, already changed my PSU with a generic one. but the PSU is not the issue because sometimes it runs but sometimes it won't, if it won't run and just keeps on rebooting(doesn't even go to post),
I do some troubleshooting like reseating rams, resetting CMOS battery, shorting CLR CMOS, reseating GPU, reseating CPU, replugging hard drives, I just repeat all of this until I get lucky and get it to run, now I'm fed up, I don't know if the motherboard or the CPU needs to be replaced, also I don't have the luxury to test either of them to see which of them is dead or dying.
please help, what can I do? Can someone help me with this thing...
Thanks!
to add:
I also found a solution to avoid this problem by not shutting down the pc and I just put it to sleep, sometimes I don't even turn it off, but I also need to save electricity
that's why I put it to sleep so it won't completely lose power, I have done this method for about 2 weeks then we had a long blackout about 3 days no electricity, I was worried that I will encounter the problem again, but voila! it turned on quick after 3 days without electricity, since then, I have been shutting down my PC properly every day, but now I encountered the issue again because I went on a whole day vacation and didn't use the PC for a whole day, and here I am now. Help, please
update:
I think I fixed it again, I removed the thermal paste and it worked, and I remembered I did this the last time, I removed the thermal paste, put heatsink in w/o thermal paste. it worked and started shutting down properly, then I thought that it's fixed, I put on thermal paste, still working up until now, so I removed thermal paste, and its working, hmmm?
the thermal paste that I'm putting is pretty old, about 9yrs old, by Deepcool, it has a Z with a number next to it I cant remember. it came from a fan I bought from Deepcool years ago,
do you think it is caused by the thermal paste?
by the way, I don't put a lot, only pea-sized and I don't even spread it, I just let the weight of the heatsink spread it, that's how I always put the paste in.
update:
put my pc to sleep last night, and now it wont turn on again, and just keeps on rebooting, this is so frustrating.
