Hello, lately i have been having a weird issue with my computer... about 90% where i turn it on it boots into a limbo state. All off the fans spin up, but the power light doesnt come on and there is no picture the only solution is to flick the power supply switch and the back and keep trying till the power (which takes about 15 tries) light pops on and it boots... this started happening around the time i switched over to windows 10 on an ssd... tho that could just be coincidence

 

 

parts list

CPU: AMD X4 760K

GPU: AMD R7 260X

RAM: CRUCIAL BALLISTIX 1x8gb

MOBO: MSI A78M-E35

POWSUP:CORSAIR CX 430

 

this is one of the weirdest problems i have ever seen on a computer... and ive seen some serious sh*t

Sounds like a ram problem.

I am a paid professional, but only when I am at work...and getting paid.

Are you talking about the UEFI? 

Anyway does It scan the HDD/SDD with the windows on it?

Dude... I LOVE the Windows XP wallpaper for the Avatar!! xD

And yeah, sounds like a RAM issue. I'd try swapping out to a different set and see if anything changes.

ok... i just swapped the ram into the other slot... and it took fewer times to flip the power supply switch to get it to boot... about 3 times this time so ya its either something with ram or perhaps the motherboard slot.
