ram - Kingston HyperX T1 Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500)
mobo - ASRock A780GXE/128M AM2+/AM2 AMD 780G ATX AMD
cpu - AMD Phenom 9600 Agena 2.3GHz Socket AM2+ 95W Quad-Core
power supply - 350W
Just built it last Wenesday, everything worked fine (other than the mobo recognized the ram as 800 MHZ).
Today, the computer wouldn't start up.
Symptoms:
-Black screen
-No beeps
-the front power button wouldn't turn off the computer & the reset button didn't work.
After removing cables/ram the problems persisted. When I removed the keyboard/mouse/monitor/ethernet cables, it worked fine.
Then 3 boots later, it was back to not working. Tried unplugging the cdrom drive and it booted fine. After plugging the cdrom drive back in, it still worked.
What could be causing this, is it the mobo or the power supply ?
PS: When I tried to install ubuntu 64 bit, the install would crash at random points during the setup (picking location->loading partition manager)
