I have a pc that built myself.
amd 965 BE (stock cooling)
msi 460gtx
asus m4a87td
corsair xms3 1600mhz (2 4gig sticks)
gs600 corsair power supply
My issue started 3 days ago when I tried to log into warcraft. pc was fine, but after about 1 min of playing the whole pc powered down. When I tried to start it up it would not power on. I took the sides off the case and the lights on the motherboard were on (core unlocker and standby power led) but it would not power on. I unplugged the power supply and touched the fins on the video card and processed coolers and nether seemed to be hot at all.
after a few hours I tried to start it up once more and the fans on the case, processor and video card all started to spin up like it was going to start but then they stopped and the power light on the case went off after a second or 2. No beeps, nothing. Tried to start it up once more and it would not power on. Once I got off work I unhooked everything to make sure it was all seated ok and if there was a lose connection or anything and was able to get it started. Only issue was once I loaded warcraft it powered all the way down even before the loading screen finished.
This just continues to happen where I can not get ti to start up for hours at a time, but at times it will power on. The last time I had it on I added a temp gage for my cpu and gpu. My cpu is 32 degrees, and gpu is 36 degrees, and it stays at those temps pretty much at all times. now, if I try to load a game it all crashes once more instantly and it could take up to 2 to 3 ours to get the pc started once more. I was able to have the pc run all night last night, but nothing on it was running. It was just powered up. crashed it this morning once more when I loaded warcraft, and as usual it was pretty much instant from when I got in to the game. I am not sure if it is a power supply issue or gpu issue. I do not have a spare of either one unless I take my work pc apart and use that for testing. I am just hoping that someone might have a good idea as to what I should try first to get this fixed.
Thanks for your time, and thanks for any help that you may be able to provide.
