psu or graphics card problem! GAH!
Posted: Fri Jul 02, 2010 8:10 pm
Hey. Sup.
I'm running a
gigabyte ep45 ds3r
Intel Quad Q9450
3 WD Caviar Blacks
like 5 fans
850w Cooler Master PSU (came with case I know i don't need one this big)
Asus HD 4870 (piece of crap I can't wait until I get more money to buy a better one)
the whole thing is 3 years old.
So, here are the problems....I recently moved and maybe something happened in the 5 hr travel time but...
So first everything turned on, fans running, LED's all on, HDD's spinning, etc. but the mobo was shooting out continuous short beeps. Nothing appears on the monitor. Checked the manual, it said this was a PSU problem. So I re-wire everything in and keep getting the same thing. It starts working again a couple of times, but freezes when I try to insert a cat5e into the back...Other than that it's fine for several hours. Then it just freezes after like 10-15 minutes each time.
This morning it just kept beeping at me. Then I reinserted the graphics card and replugged it in for no reason and it was working for a bit. Now I either get the beeping or it seems like it's on but nothing on the monitor still. The graphics card will make a clicking sound, and the red lights on the back of it will flash while it clicks every maybe 2 minutes, then it will restart eventually. Now, it went back to the beeping.
I was wondering if you guys had anything before i started buying new parts (mmmm). I was wondering if maybe it could be the power cord connecting the psu to the power strip? I have about a hundred of these and might have grabbed the wrong one while unpacking (it does say 12v on it though) I don't have any spare parts to test out unfortunately but I was wondering if any of this resonated with any of you guys. Please help!
