Regarding this weird issue for my Desktop pc.

[KYOSHIRO_00]

Hi guys. I am running mobo B75 pro 3-m and i5-3470 processor on windows 10. Today, I was using the pc when I saw this windows msg " Pc encounter an error". After that, the pc was shut down. I tried to power off and then switch on again. No signal was detected from my cpu to the monitor.

I open up cpu to check. Realise that all the cooling fan in cpu is working. Processor fan is working.

1) did a restart, still fail to get any signal
2) plug out all my sata cable connected to ssd and hdd then debug 1 by 1, still fail to get any signal
3) change ram module slot, still fail to get any signal
4) sound card and graphic card plug out also fail to get any signal.
5) plug out the power cord, holding on to the power button for 30 second plug back in , still fail to get any signal

Symptom: I realised my cpu did get start up. fan was spinning, lights was on until the process was half way thru. The cpu light and fan get switch off automatically again. A few seconds later, the cpu tried to restart itself again, light was on fan was spinning etc. and these process kept looping and looping until i switch off the power.

i switch it off for 5 min. then i came back switch on again. it was working again. windows was booted up.

So I wonder if is this an issue with the motherboard or is it a symptoms that the power supply unit is going to die on me soon?

Any expert here can provide any advice or tips? Would gladly appreciate that. Cheers and good day!

Sounds like PSU gonna die soon.. Experienced this nonsense before whereby the PSU had to 'warm up' a few times before can boot up properly.

It is possible to be mobo issue though, best to swap out with another PSU and see if the problem is really on PSU.

Swap PSU if you got a spare.

damm. it was really annoying man. It would be really troublesome if mobo is faulty. Need dismantle all the stuff and transfer to the new mobo.

Hi

Do you happen to stay in the east? I recently upgraded my rig and have my old CoolerMaster 650W power supply sitting around. You can have it to troubleshoot if you want and if you stay in the east. I don't really have further use for it.

The PSU is 100% working, I upgraded 3 days ago as it was around 5 years old and I wanted a new PSU for my new rig. PM me if you're interested

See your good intention here but it is not wise to let others reuse a 5yo PSU due to depreciation. He should get a brand new or 1-2yo PSU at most.

Use to test nia.. not use it long term. Saves the trouble of buying a new PSU only to find out that it's not the PSU's fault

yep might consider seasonic. didnt get seasonic when building rig last time due to budget constrain.
