My HP 8300 with an
- i5 3570
- 8 GB RAM
- EVGA 600W PSU
- GTX 1060
does not turn on consistently. If I press the button then the fans run for only 1 second or so and nothing happens. Sometimes (maybe 1 out of 20 times) it turns on and everything works smoothly.
Following measures have been already tried:
- Replacing CMOS battery
- Replacing Motherboard (both used)
- Trying out different slots and combination of RAM
- Changing PSU
- Taking out the motherboard on cardboard and then starting
- Run with and without GTX 1060
- Get rid of charge before turning on PC
- Unplug everything and "get rid of remaining electricity" by pressing power button
I have the (uneducated guess) suspicion that something shorts out since sometimes it helps when I unplug the PSU and start from fresh. But even this is not consistent.
Do you guys have any other suggestion?
