Hey! So I have a bit of an older setup which is:

 

4960x @ 4.5

p9x79 ws/ipmi

32gb ram @ 2300 (I think, I'll double check)

gtx1080 hybrid

Silent Pro M2 850W

 

The cpu, ram, and motherboard came from an old high frequency trading server. It was a good deal (I think 350 cad last year), and while I was expecting issues down the road I don't quite know whats causing it.

I can boot the computer, and it will very rarely give a bios code or display. Meanwhile, if I boot the computer and flick the power on the PSU on and off via the switch it will do a reboot and boot into windows fine. Its not the best solution so I was curious if you guys could help me out at all :) 

 

I tried using one stick of ram, using a different GPU, I went through OS reset (got a new SSD) , the one thing that I would like to test would be a different power supply but I'd like other peoples opinions before I buy a new one since I don't wanna waste 80 buckeroos on a psu thats just gonna sit around. Thanks ahead of time!
