Sarissi Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Please post more complete hardware specifications and whether you are overclocking anything. Overclocking increases the load on the PSU. Most people don't realize this. The more work your CPU and graphics card do, the greater the load on the PSU. I will list my hardware and then I will give you the reason why I did the specifications this way. Asus P7P55d-E Pro motherboardIntel Core i7 860 2.8 Ghz raw clock speed. This is a locked CPU.2 x 2 TB Seagate SATA 3 HDDs2 x 2 TB Western Digital SATA 2 HDDS (Green)LiteOn retail box BD Combo druve16 GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR3EVGA nVidia GTX 460 2 GB (requires 2 external power from the PSU)Corsair HX850 Professional Series active pfc, Modular PSU The reason is that my primary hobby is 3D CG. The PSU rating is greater than what I need, but, I want to have plenty of extra power available so I do not overtax the PSU. Everything except my HP LaserJet 1018 is connected to my Geek Squad UPS/Power Conditioner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FMod Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Your PSU is good, at least in theory. Everything really should work fine. This is not an overclocking issue. When did the problem first start, and does it happen 100% of the time or less? From what state or states does it occur? Specifically:1) Just plugged in; some time went on; pressing the "on" button2) Turned the computer off by pressing the Power button (on the case or the keyboard)3) Turned the computer off by selecting "Turn Off" in windows If it's (2) or (3), there is a possibility that your computer is not actually off, but in hibernation. Failure to resume from hibernation is much more common and associated with OS faults. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samadchaz Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 did you touch anything on your motherboard? sounds like some jumper is short/buggy, try removing Audio,USB and front panel header leaving only power switch jumper left and try removing fan that is powered from motherboard(three pin terminal) and start your PC from power buttoncheck and reseat atx 24 pin and 4-pin 12v aux too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
