Hey folks, Hope you're all having a delightful day!
I've googled alot on this issue but haven't found anything useful, so I ask for help here.
In case needed:
Graphics card:...GTX960 2 GB........2-3 years old
Motherboard:.....M5A78L-M/USB3...5-6 years old
CPU:..................AMD FX-8150........5-6 years old
PSU:..................CS650M.................2-3 years old
So I've had this issue for a week now, but don't know whats going on really..
I turned my pc back on from sleepmode one day but it just went totally black. When I hard-restarted nothing came up, not even the splash screen, just black.
So I took everything out, motherboard, graphics card, etc.. and mounted everything back together on a wooden table and everything worked fine. Then I mounted everything inside the case, including the graphics card and it worked, though after a few restarts things didn't boot up again, but this time I took out only the graphics card and connected my monitor to my motherboards GPU, and it worked!
I repeated this process a few times and now I'm certain that when my graphics card is mounted on my MB, inside the case, the system wont work, and also that my motherboard boots up fine everytime if the graphics card isn't mounted on it while inside the case.
But! I'm also certain that when my system is mounted together outside the case with the graphics card being mounted on my motherboard, then things would run fine.
Also during those time that my system has problem booting there aren't anything on the screen, there are no beeps and the lights are off on my mouse and keyboard.
My thoughts:
I'm not short if there are shortening issue with my MB, since my system runs normally without my graphics card inserted, when the MB is installed inside the case.
I'm also not sure if my graphics card is bad since my system runs normally outside my case even with my graphics card mounted on the MB.
I have some suspecions that my PCIe slot might be the problem, since my graphics card is pretty heavy and leans downwards even when mounted correctly and screwed to the backpanel, but again I'm not sure.
I'm not sure if this is a grounding related issue since my computer has run normally in the past 2-3 years.
..So what do you think could be casusing this? How can I prevent it? should I change any parts?
