Hey, so this is my current system:
CPU: Intel i5 Clarkdale 650 3.2GHz Dual Core
Graphics Card: MSI nVidia GTX 460 1GB
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATAIII 6GB/s 7200RPM
Memory: Corsair XMS3 Dominator 4x2GB DDR3-1600 CL8
Motherboard: Asus P7P55D-E LX Intel
CPU Cooling: Astek 550LC
PSU: Corsair HX-750W
Recently it's been starting to slow down and crash a bit as it's a fairly old system that's had hard use. Today however it crashed and will now no longer turn on. The main difference I can see in terms of lights on the motherboard is that the MemOK! button no longer flashes or lights up at all when I hit the power button. Normally it flashes for a bit then turns off. To my eyes all other power lights, fans, hdd, etc. are all working, but nothing is coming up on the screen, not even BIOS. I switched the ram sticked around and into different lane slots and tried restarting but still no luck.
The other possible thing is that it green screen crashed earlier today after I had bumped the case (EDIT: and I just noticed the hard drive activity light isn't flashing though the drive is definitely spinning). After this when it crashed for good it was when I had a couple of tabs with YouTube videos playing on them and I pressed play on a third video.
Another thing I'll add is I've always had a bit of issue with what I think is the motherboard, when the computer is in too cold of an environment (say an unheated room in winter here, 10-14 degrees) it won't post, the lights and fans will just pulse on off on off every second or less until it is in a warm enough environment (usually I point a fan heater at the case till it posts). Also when the computer has been running hard for a while and may be too hot and I shut it down, the OS will turn off but all the fans and components will still run until I hold the power switch down.
Sorry that's a bit rambling.
Any ideas or has it kicked the bucket?
Thanks in advance for any assistance,
Angus.
