Need some help guys. Got home, powered up, some slight flicker, and then just a blank screen.
Looked at the Award POST on my eVGA 780i which stayed at 21. Something to do with "Init. Heuristic Power Management". Unplugged all USB devices, even a graphics card, and two sticks of RAM, did resets on the BIOS still no boot, still 21.
I can't even get into BIOS to change power management options, but I wasn't overclocking voltage at all.
I think it's my 850 PSU, but it will light up, run the fans, and power lights on the board. My thought is I tasked out the PSU one too many times and it's giving up the ghost after 5 years, but would it even run? And since it runs would I have enough juice to power my system at half the equipment? Or is caputs altogether?
Or is it my motherboard not letting me even into BIOS?
Appreciate any help and advice. I'm thinking it's new PSU time.
