So I was doing a monitor calibration this morning (new 1080p monitor) before I left for college, and all of a sudden, my screen froze. So, as usual, I tried ctrl+alt+del and nothing hppened, so I cycled power on my PC.
Now, in the past couple months it has been very difficult toget my PC started withought a BSOD during startup. It appears at random, and I must go through 4 to 10 attempts before it actually started successfully. I was going to do a windows reinstall after this term is over...too busy to do it now, even on the weekends.
Now, this time after i cycled power, I got the normal BSOD reading MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION. However, when I cycled it again, the motherboard didn't beep to signify that it was recongnizing memory devices. However, all fans and lights worked properly. I had experienced this before while working on someone else's computer, to find that their processor power cable was unpugged. So, I tried unplugging my CPU's power cable, and got the same startup result - no video, no bleeping beeps. I used a mulimeter to measure the voltage across the pinns of the CPU's power cord, and found it to be a normal 12.2-12.4 volts, of course this was without load.
Thoughts?
