I have been fighting a screen flicker then the click, phwoooosh of the rig shutting down all day long, every 10 minutes or so.
ran to storage and grabbed another psu, swapped them out, fired it up, just knowing I had it fixxed........no dice........
HMMMMMMMMMMMM...... gpu???? went and grabbed another gpu and swapped it out..................no dice
this is global, it's power........ go grab another power cord, feeling all smug and smarmy, fire it up.......... no dice???????????
after just dealing with it dying a few more times I notice the little light on the monitor even goes out, that's not through the psu................;
ran to garbage mart, on tax free day............. what a train wreck that was............. got a new power strip.............................................................................................................................................FIXXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Man, what a way to spend your Saturday.

I would've gone for the monitor first and wasted a lot of money. Power strips are much cheaper than monitors.

 

[caddi daddi]

my first thought was the monitor, but i looked down at the case, no lights, no fans.

 

[Dlaw]

Yet another use for LED fans.... *finds the relevance of another thread in this section* lol

And before anyone jumps to conclusions... Yes. I am drunk.

I would have blamed the AMD drivers first. Speaking of rasslin' , we lost Rowdy Roddy Piper this week. Glad your problem was an easy fix CD.

Rowdy Roddy Piper died...

 

[caddi daddi]

we be's losing a few of the older ones, dusty last year, piper just the other day, but he was only in his early 60's, I would think.

Hot Rod was only 61. Died in his sleep from heart failure. Scares the crap out of my 53 year old self.
