Out of the blue my week old build stopped booting, no fan / lights or anything, after re seating everything and clearing cmos / trying a minimal config etc I still had no luck. Tried old Seasonic 500w and it booted first time and is still going strong a week later, but now I've got round to trying the OCZ PSU in an old computer before RMA and typically it boots fine.
Google reveals some issues people were having with this board where it takes around 15minutes after a complete power drain (cable out, hold power button, reconnect) before it would ever boot back up and now I'm wondering if this is what could've been clouding my debug process with the PSU? I was frequently unplugging when moving the comp to test various configurations so it could be a similar issue complicating things?
I guess it is also possible that there's just something strange that the mobo doesn't like about the PSU, although it had been running flawlessly for a week or so prior to the issue. I'm guessing I'll have to try the OCZ PSU back in this machine again but I'm sick of faffing about with it at the moment!
I'm running the latest BIOS F13 since day one.
Spec is:
Ivy 3750K
Z77-D3H
8gb Corsair Vengence
Sapphire 7850 2gb
128gb Corsair M4
500gb WD Hdd
OCZ 650W(grr) / Seasonic 500w
