hi everyone. my first post
I built my computer roughly 6 months ago and noticed the problem the first time I switched it on. It wouldn't post, lights and fans would go on but that's it. It didn't bother me too much because i just had to push the reset button to make it boot. but it would also get the windows failed to boot message which worried me a bit.
anyway I didn't bother trying to diagnose the problem until i started oc'ing, it would reset my oc settings every time it failed to boot which was getting annoying. I found out that it booted fine when i removed all the sata components, hdd, dvd drive, and esata.
any ideas? btw it doesn't fail to boot everytime. like 80% of the time
