Hi

Currently my computer cannot start up,
I must fiddle with the internal connections and sometimes it turns on, but once it turn on I tried updating the software and playing games to stress the system everything was fine(the computer was on for 10 hours) but when I turn it off same problem
It is a brand new pc bought around august 2015 self build

when i hold the power button the mobo flashes a blue light a few times no beep sound

my guess is the psu is faulty

Any help is appreciated thanks

Either your PSU is faulty or the connections are loose. Check your connections.

I tried clearing CMOS doesn't work. Tried 2 methods jump start it with a screwdriver and removing the CMOS battery for 10 mins.

Is my mobo faulty?

maybe you can bring down to SLS and look for Nigel... he can assist you...

I am thinking of bringing my psu mobo and ram to Corbell directly save the trouble instead of going 2 locations

Thanks for your help through
