Dying PC

Well. That's too bad because seriously, I don't think it's the power supply. Since you reseated everything and it woked and that's good but here's a breakdown what happened.

1. If the RAM is bad/incompatible/not seated correctly then you will hear a long series of beep.
2. If the 4 pin power supply to the MB did not provide 12V DC to your MB, the PC will do nothing and will not power on when you push the power button.
3. So you did not experience anything in step 1 & 2. That's left with the heatsink and as said earlier, during POST, the PC is checking everything before you even see the video display and will produce certain actions based on what wrong. CPU overheated is critical and that's why it shut down. I don't know what type of heatsink you use but if it's a stock heatsink with 4 plastic pins pushed down to the MB and twisted. Often they get loose and pop up by themself even you did not move the PC.
   In addition, You did experience the same problem after you replaced the PSU then you reseated everything and again it worked.

 

PC Build Steps

Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval

• Install system in case
  • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
• Turn on PC
• setup HDD
• run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
  • run realtemp at the same time

• While in Prime95 test
  • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
  • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
  • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!

What do you guys think??

 

My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix
