Greetings,
I recently built my wife a PC, and used an EVGA P55 motherboard for it. My motherboard-- an EVGA x58 SLI-- had recently died (of unknown causes), and its replacement had just arrived. Windows 7 installed just fine on her computer, and my PC recognized the new motherboard and booted into the OS without a hitch. However, both computers are having an odd problem:
Every time we press the "Power" button on either computer, the fans rev up and the lights turn on, but no signal heads to the monitor and the hard drives/GPU don't make any noise. Within 10 seconds, they actually turns themselves off (all lights go out), turn themselves back on, and it POSTS/boots like normal.
I had initially assumed it was a BIOS issue, but it affects both the x58 and th P55. The hardware in both is completely different-- the x58 has a Corsair TX750 PSU and an Antec 902 case, for example, while the P55 has an Antec 6xx (can't recall specific voltage) and some Coolermaster case. The problem appears exactly the same on both towers, however.
Any ideas? Should I try flashing the BIOS on both machines and see what happens? I appreciate your feedback; thanks!
Here is my PC:
GPU: EVGA GTX 460 1GB SLI
RAM: 6GB DDR3 Corsair XMS3
GPU: EVGA x58 SLI
CPU: Intel Core i7 920
PSU: Corsair 750TX
Case: Antec 902
