hi guys. basically my family hijacked my rig and have a habit of going to bed at night and leaving it on. EVERY NIGHT. so the past few mornings i have been getting woken up by my parents freaking out because the thing wont turn on. bearing in mind that it gets left on FOREVER. when i turn it off before i head to bed my mum and dad go down in the middle of the night and check emails as we do a lot of international business.
soooo when they go back to bed they then leave it on again. so for them to say that its not turning on means that it has shat itself in the middle of the night. so i come down and try powering it up but it just keeps power cycling and the debug light are going off like they were the main lighting equipment at a muse concert.
so i clear the cmos and it eventually turns back on. so the ram is ne wand the psu is new so i dont believe that they are the problem. the boot drive is also relatively new and idont think that is the problem either. i have had the sustem for 4 years and it has been overclocked to 4.5 for atleast 3 of those years.
i have extensive watercooling so heat was never a issue. but is this a potential case of the cpu decaying due to being turned on and overclocked for lets just say 30000 hours. (they pay the electricity bill so stuff them they have wrecked my pc). what do you think guys. i dont want to buy a new x99 cpu,mobo, ddr4 ram as they will do the same thing to it at a cost of another 1200 quid to me. what do you guys think. if it is on the way out i need to act because i dont want it taking all the other components out with it.
