Power on Problem !!!

[Ryzouk]

Hello,

I have been having this problem for a few weeks now. If my computer shuts down sometimes it can be a real hassle to get back on. When i press the power button the light flash and fans spin for like a second and it shuts down again. this happens over and over. I tried taking out the ram,fans,hdd....ect Then i got to the gpu and when i unplug my 8pin PCIE connections to the gpu it runs. I take them out a few time and plug them back in and it seems to start working again. I don't want to go out and buy a new gpu to find it the power supply or the other way around. so could you please help me out.

Thanks

Remove the little coin cell battery on your mainboard for about 10 seconds, then replace it and try again.

Ignore my sarcasm and do it. It won't hurt, and it often fixes power-on problems.

I get this problem occassionaly with my shitty Alpine 650 W PSU, I have to disconnect the connector to the GPU then reconnect it and it'll boot right away

 

[Ryzouk]

yeah that seems to be the same problem. What was the cause of your problem then ? faulty cables ? psu wattage ?

I'm still using the same PSU, At times the fan makes a grinding sound so I'd say the PSU is on it's way to exploding :/ I'm ordering a EVGA 600B soon.

ah ok i see. Its a real hassle when it start only way to get it on is to take they cables out it start perfectly without the gpu connected at all. Was told my psu is well enough for the gpu though.
