This problem started about a week ago and has been getting worse.
I won’t boot after being left off over night. It will boot after installing the backup (takes 5 min. from time to inserting disk to reboot). It’s booted once after waiting for it to warm up for a few minutes. Boots fine if turned off for a few hours but once it reaches room temp wont. I don’t think it’s a software problem as I’ve reinstalled windows after reformatting. I’ve switched the memory into the other slots and no diff there. I’ve checked all my plugs and components to be sure they are seated properly.
I built this computer in Nov 06 with no problems. I added the 2nd raptor a month ago. So the big change is using the RAID controller and a second hard drive
Today I tried waiting to warm up again but only got past the windows splash screen and power to the USB ports.
SO…Power supply? Motherboard? Cables? A piece of silicone? Hard drive?
