I'm having a strange problem with one of my media computers.
Every once in a while the computer will basically shut off. The screen goes black the input does not stop, monitor still detects a signal, the keyboard mouse doesn't do anything. However the fans stay on, all of them, and the case fans (CPU fan) which are connected to the motherboard ramp up to 100%.
To further the power button does nothing you press and hold, you click, nothing. Same goes for the restart button. I'm required to flick the PSU switch to shutdown, and then restart the computer.
I thought for a second my 4.4GHZ overclock to the 750k was the reason of the error, but the issues stated above are not what a computer does when thermal limits are reached, or an over-voltage, or destabilization occurs. Furthermore I backed the computer back down to 3.4GHZ and the problem persists.
I've had a couple talks with some co-workers, they determine it's the motherboard, which would make sense, some point to the PSU. Any idea guys?
Motherboard: Gigabyte F2A85X-D3H
PSU CorsairCX 500w M(odular)
If you require any other info just let me know. This "error" only occurs once or twice a month, so no big deal with it, just curious.
