Okay, I'll try to make this as clear as possible.
A year ago, I upgraded my PC. I bought a new motherboard, CPU and RAM:
-MSI P67A-GD53 (B3)
-Intel i5-2500K
-8GB G.Skill RipJawsX (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
On top of these, I have the following GPU, HDD, PSU and sound card:
-PowerColor HD 4870 1GB
-Samsung F3 Spinpoint 1TB
-Be Quiet 650W Dark Power Pro Modular PSU
-X-Fi sound card
In a:
-Coolermaster HAF 932 Full Tower Case
Soon, after I upgraded last year, I switched my PC on but only one phase light was shown on the motherboard. The case fans and CPU fan seemed to spin but the PC wouldn't boot; nothing was shown on the monitor.
Oddly, this issue then seemed to stay away for almost a year.
Now, about a month ago, the same problem started to occur; only more regularly. As stupid as it sounds, it only seemed to turn on after it had a considerable break (12+hours) from having been powered down.
Today, it happened again but I noticed that the red and green lights on my surge protector (which I use to plug several things in to, including my PC) weren't lit. I don't know how long it has been like this (bad, I know), but everything still seems to work, bar my computer every now and then.
I then tried plugging just my PC into another surge protector. The PC did the same (failed to boot up) but when I plugged everything that was previously plugged into it (lamp, phone charger), the whole protector had blown and was now useless.
I currently have my PC working, as it likes messing around with me.
Can anyone draw any conclusion as to what is wrong? Due to the other surge protector blowing, would that indicate a faulty PSU? Or is the cable the culprit? Or maybe I'm way out.
Any help would be much appreciated.
