Computer not booting first time.

[Stiffmeistro]

Hello everybody.

 

I recently just put together a (sort of) new build.

 

The problem is now, that if the computer have been turned off for quite some time (several hours) it will not boot the first time i press the button, but only after sometimes several reboots. I have been doing some reseach, and the people of the internet, said that it is most likely the PSU causing troubles. And since i put together my new build, whenever i play games, theres a terrible coil whine, from either the PSU or GPU, however, this goes away after i put on v-sync in some games, so i guess its my GPU. Is that normal?

 

MSI z97i Gaming AC (New)

i7-4770k (New)

1600 MHz Kingston HyperX (from old build)

Gigabyte 7950 (from old build)

Corsair CX750M (from old build)

Samung 840 256 GB SSD (from old build)

 

Unfortunately I do not have another PSU I can test.

 

I ran Memtest86 for about 7 - 8 hours, and it reported no errors. I also tried running Intel Burn Test for 300 runs, on maximum, and it reported no errors either.

 

Anybody tried anything similair?

Coil whines are never normal, if the warranty still hasn't expired you could probably RMA it

Coil whines are from the PSU.

I guess i can try ordering the Corsair RM650 on monday, then return it, if it did not solve the problem.

I love it that you can return products you don't want in America. In Malaysia they will ask you, "Working eh? Working cannot not return. Not working can warranty."

it's the PSU; because VSync in games can lower the electricity draw of your GPU which in turn gives a cooler PSU and thus less fan speed.

Well, im ordering from Denmark. Same thing applies. It's not even something that is stated by law, but something companies do for service. ''100% satisfaction or money back'' kind of thing. You can return it up to 45 days after purchase :-)

Thanks, I just ordered the new PSU. Should come in on monday. Hopefully that will solve it.

 

Thanks to everyone posting, btw. :-)

So I tried getting the Corsair RM650, but it still would not boot the first time, and had to reboot several times. I then tried to take out the ram sticks, and only put in one, but it was the same. 

 

Just tried updating the BIOS, and will find out if it worked by tomorrow, since it only denies booting the first time, after have been turned off for some hours. Will report back here, with possible solution or with what i have tried, if people are not getting tired of me constantly posting in this thread. :-)
