Specs:
Asus X-99A motherboard
Intel 5820-k cpu
Nvidia GTX1080 graphics
some 750W psu
4x4GB DDR4 ram
I've been using my desktop PC for 5 years now. I've been doing some overclocking on the cpu and I've had issues with the boot plenty of times. Usually I had to reset the bios but eventually I got the system to boot again. I've had a faulty RAM module a few years ago and had to replace the entire kit. A few days ago, I got a graphics error noise from the motherboard, I removed and inserted the GPU and the problem got solved. Today my PC decided not to boot at all. Sometimes the power goes on for just a second and then it turns back off. Sometimes it just keeps running but there is no boot sound and the GPU lights remain on for the entire time (normally when theres a succesful boot, the GPU lights go on and then back off, and the boot sound plays a while after that).
I've tried resetting the bios with the button on the back of the motherboard, and by using the jumper on pins 2-3 for 10 seconds, and by removing the battery for 5 minutes. Didn't seem to make a difference. I also tried booting without the GPU and drives, with only one RAM module installed. Still no luck. As far as I know this means the problem is either the motherboard, the cpu or the psu. It would be better if I can narrow it down further before going out to get new components. If the PC runs without booting for a long while, does this mean the problem cannot be the PSU? Would everything be fine if I only switched my mobo and cpu?
