I ran 3dmark11 and looked at the scores. I noticed it had listed my Cpu being clocked at 2.8ghz and some change, and my Ram being clocked at 800mhz, so I rebooted my Pc to enter the Bios to look at settings(I just rebuild my system on Wednesday).
The Bios had everything listed correctly for speeds, so out of curiosity I entered the advanced settings and AI Tweaker. My system immediately shut down, died. When I pushed the power button my case light would light up and immediately died. After holding in the power button for about 5 seconds I got the system to spin up for a couple of seconds, then die. I rechecked all connections in the case, unplugged and reseated the motherboard power connectors and retried. Spin up, HDD spins up, then about 5 seconds later it all dies.
On a whim I turned off my power bar and moved the power cord from it's current plug on it, to a different one and retried my Pc. The case light came on, then the system beeped and finally booted into Windows just fine.
I've played games on the machine with no problems, and haven't noticed any other oddities so far. What gives? The only thing I can think of is a partial failure of my PSU, so I came here asking the question. System Specs are as follows:
i5 3570k
Asus P8z77-v LK
2 x 4gb's Crucial DDR 3 1600
HIS Radeon 6870
640gb WD Caviar Black
Thermaltake Frio cooler
OCZ Fatal1ty 750w PSU
DVD burner and 2x 120mm case fans mounted in a NZXT Guardian 921(blue)
Thanks for any help.
