OK, so over the past 2 weeks, my build has been giving me massive issues, and last night refused to turn on at all.
2 weeks ago, the computer initially wasn't responding to the power switch, so I switched spots on the surge protector and it turned on.
The next day it happened again, and I had to plug it directly into the wall.
A few days later, it stopped turning on AGAIN, and I got it working by wiring a new power switch to the motherboard. I figured the front panel on my case went bad and ordered another one from Corsair.
The next day, the NEW switch wouldn't turn on the computer. I fiddled with it a bit (So technical) and eventually it turned on.
As of yesterday, nothing worked, and the computer couldn't be turned on at all. Mind you, the motherboard's standby LEDs are all lit, so I don't think the PSU is completely dead, but I'm stumped here. I even tried using a screwdriver to touch the power switch pins (in case it was a faulty switch issue) and nothing happened.
Any ideas what it could be?
The hardware in question: An old ass (but reliable) Corsair HX620 PSU, an ASUS Z77v-lk motherboard, running a slightly OCed (3.8Ghz) i5-3570K, with 16GB of RAM (4x4gb).
If anyone needs any further info, I'll be glad to provide all that I can. Looking to get up and running ASAP, while spending as little money as possible. Funds are low due to holiday shopping. I might stop by Walmart/Best Buy soon to pick up a new PSU to test/return, so see if that's the issue.
Thanks in advance!
