windows 10, 16GB (2x8GB) RAM, R9 380 Video Card
I was playing the new Skyrim remastered, when the game crashed with the screen going crazy and a loud stuttering noise. I had to cycle the power off.
I took care of some other things and when I tried to restart -- nothing doing. The PC would power on but no boot, tested on two monitors with two different connector types.
I unpluggd the PC and held th power down for 30seconds to a minute--several times. No dice.
I reseated video card and RAM. No dice.
I switched to the onboard video card, same behavior, no signal, no boot.
I removed a RAM stick. It boots and the bios message was that the overclock wa failing. I did several tests with the RAM and only on would allow the PC to boot up. OK, we're fine right?
Wrong, after identifying the failing component, I tried to hook up the R9 video card again, but same symptoms as when I restarted he first time. No display, no keyboard, no boot.
This is my media PC, and is hooked up to a large TV. So I even tried setting the resolution to 1280 x 1024.
I reseated the CPU and video card power connectors. But, I cant get the computer to boot with either the R9 380 connected to the PSU or the RAM stick in.
Is this a PSU issue?
