Hey, I have had a problem with my build for a while now and I don't understand the cause.
The problem is this: Sometimes (very rare occasions) my computer will boot for around half a second, then immediately shut off. It happened to me this morning and previously I couldn't find a way to "fix" the issue. The mobo would just eventually work with time (usually would take around an hour). However, when it happened today, I decided to unplug the CPU power connectors and let it attempt booting. It lasted around 10 seconds and then shut off. I then put the power connectors back into the CPU slot and the PC booted fine after that.
At first I thought it was overheating problems, but this has happened multiple times on first boot in the morning, when I haven't touched the PC in 10+ hours.
Update: It happened again this morning and taking out the CPU power socket did not work this time around, but switching the RAM sticks around their slots (I have 2 sticks with an empty slot between them) seems to have worked....
So, does anyone know what the cause could be?
I hope you can help. Thanks
