Hello forumers, I am new here. Please help me out, I am stuck with a problem.
MY PC's specs:
Mobo: Gigabyte 880GM USB3
PSU: Power Focus 550W (a local brand, yet better compared to other locals imo)
RAM: 2 * 4 GB DDR3
Proc: AMD x4 955BE 3.2 GHz
Problem: It started 2 days back; I couldn't hear the POST beep when I powered it on. So, Power LED is ON, Fans are running but no video & POST beeps.
I used the power button to switch it off & hit it again. It worked. Though I was taken to BIOS Checksum Error page & I loaded the default settings.
Once I take away the power supply & switch it ON again, it's highly likely that it wont work. And if I try to switch it on after waiting for 15-20 mins, it surely won't boot at first attempt.
So, problem started 2 days back. I was frustrated, tried to find the problem. Took out all the peripherals to test, still the same problem. I removed the heatsink, cleaned the processor & also cleaned the RAM sticks & tightened all the plugs. Still nothing worked. I thought it was dead. Though, I decided to try the method of letting the fans run for a long while & then power my machine off & restart. I let it run for 20 mins, no luck. Then next shot was 1 hour+, it worked.
Then I decided to not take the power supply, restarted multiple times, 80% of the restarts gave me the BIOS checksum error, where I loaded the defaults.
Some things that might give you a clear picture:
1. My city, Mumbai(India) has been hot lately.
2. The power button on cpu responds only if pressed within a minute or 2 after booting.
Okay, I guess whatever information you'd need is given. So, what could be the problem? What failing hardware would cause such issues?
