Starting last Friday, after a lengthy session of converting .mkv files to .mp4, my pc began having start-up problems.
Normally it does a little count down in the bottom corner 51, then 50, (beep) and displays "Press F2 for BIOS or F10 for Boot Options". It would stop at either 51 or reboot randomly after 1-5 minutes if it managed to get past that.
I disconnected all drives except my C:\Boot, formatted it and ran Ubunto on a FlashDrive. It stayed stable for 8+ hours after the USB Boot. :crossfinger:
Today, it won't even show that power is going to the monitor (connection light remains amber instead of green), no beeps, and the fans stop after a minute or so.
The only thing I can see in common is the motherboard and the power supply and the fact that it ran for 8+hours after the USB boot makes me suspect my power supply is going bad.
What thinks the hive?
