Jovydas Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Hi guys I have a power supply from corsair gs 600 I used for two months on my pc and than in middle of the game it just shuted down.The pc quickly rebooted but did not enter the windows instead it was locked on motherboards logo and than restarded again but later on there was absolutly no display on the screen what it did when i powered it on the power supply would quickly reboot and run without any display on the screen all the fans woud spin and everything but there was no display on the screen I though that it is motherboards fault as the dram led was on red and ram was brand new and was working well withthat in mind i bought another motherboard and now the pc quickly reboots and instead of running it just keeps restarting every 10-20 seconds. So the problem is not the motherboard I wonder if anyone could help me with this before i buy something else which appears to be perfectly fine. And if it appears the psu is bad should i send it to the seller or corsair itself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Did you use the same memory with both boards? This sounds like a bad stick of memory than PSU. Have you tested the memory one stick at a time yet with memtest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jovydas Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I attempted to change the positions of ram sticks but their were no difference (also 1 stick at the time) I also tried to reset bios but it didint help either its late now but tommorow I'll attempt to clean cpu's socket surface with alcholol. Btw is it possible to do memtest without a display on screen if so how? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peanutz94 Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 Btw is it possible to do memtest without a display on screen if so how? This is why it was suggested to try one stick at a time. It's possible that one of the two sticks is preventing a proper start up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't have to replace it. Just try one stick at a time. Even if you couldn't get in to the BIOS it would still have given us more information to go off of. So that removes the memory out of the question anyway. However, what board are you talking about exactly? In your original post you list a MSI board in your system specs and now your saying your using a sabertooth? Really it doesn't matter, your saying the board is giving you a memory error, so it's not going to be your PSU. Possibly CPU or GPU even at this point. Your replacement board could even be bad.

Jovydas Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 I turned the psu without motherboard with green and black wire and it did not reboot itself does this show that the psu is okay? I am suspecting CPU arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PSU can not reboot it self with out the motherboard. However, it just means the PSU starts fine without the board. You really need to get a reading on the three main voltages the powersupply puts out. It's possible one of them is low and causing the reboots. The only other way to test is to use another PSU in with your MB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
