Computer not working

[Nohemi]

Hi

SO this has been happening to me ever since I built my computer one year ago. The problem is that when I leave my computer on and don't use it for a while, the screen turns black (pretty normal). I looks at my computer and the power button is blinking. The problem is that when I move the mouse or click buttons on the mouse or keyboard to try to wake up my computer, it either (by some miracle) works or (more often) the blue ring around the power button stops blinking and doesn't want to turn on. When I try to press the power button... nothing. Then I try to turn off the power supply and then turn it back on again and press it and it doesn't work. Then I have to get really fancy and unplug both ends of the power supply and then plug then back in. Then I have to do a rain dance and caress my computer until it works. Sometimes it works and most of the time it doesn't. SO I do it everyday until it works. Now it does't work at all. 

My specs are on my profile page I believe, but I have a G3258 Pentium (which is probably not the problem because I have two cpus and it still doesn't work), EVGA 650 GS supernova, EVGA GTX 960, Asrock extreme 3 motherboard, standard hard drive (WD), and Kingston Hyper x fury 8gb sticks (ddr3).

 

All help would be much appreciated. Tell me if I missed anything

Thanks

If you have an overclock, you may want to write down your numbers.

Have you loaded optimized defaults in the UEFI? Have you reset the CMOS? If you're not sure how to reset the CMOS, your motherboard manual can explain which jumpers to short (or if there is a button that will do it).

I have a 4.2 overclock I believe. I forgot how much voltage I put though. I've tried powering on the computer with the jumping the "power switch" area, but that didn't work. Is this something different?

It turned on again when I jumped the two CMOS tings (at least I think I did). Is it normal for a computer to turn on only for a second (like fans spin), but then it turns of again, and then it turns on again. My computer always does that when it turns on. Should I be worried

as far as the little spurt with the flashing of lights and the fan apin, it is common in some of the *slightly* older motherboards. It's just the power being transferred from the bios to the rest of the components in the case. It usually happens if you have a very old piece of hardware mixed in with much newer hardware in your system.

I just wanted to make sure that you wrote down your numbers before you loaded optimized defaults or resetted your CMOS.
