Issues with booting

[Sir0zero]

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. Alternatively, just shutting it off an on a handful of times also works. 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!

Does it actually boot or does it not even give an effort to boot before you turn off the power supply? If that is the case then it is most likely the PSU.

Well, it turns on everything receives power, fans spinning, gpu fan spins, leds light up, everything gets power. But no visual and no bios code.

That could be a GPU issue if it is not showing display after the boot. If you unplug the power cable and hold the power button for 5 seconds then plug it back in and attempt to boot. Give that a try and see if it affects it.

So, I tried what you said a few times and it booted well. Now when I turn it on it boots as its suppose to, I dont have to mess with it at all. I'm not sure if the side panel was squishing a cord too tight or something but thanks a ton for your help.

Upon further testing, if I do a full shut down and drain the system of power (flick the PSU off, hold the power button for a bit and wait a while) it will do it once after boot. If I flick the psu or do the GPU fix you reccomended it wont do it again until another complete shut down and drainage.
