Hey I just encountered a problem a few days ageo and I am a little lost. My computer stays on pretty much 24/7 and one night (about 4 days ago) my computer made a pop sound like a power outage would make and shut off. I tried turning it back on but it would not boot. The fans would come on for about half a second and turn off. So I took everything out of the case and started unplugging everything. Eventually I got the computer to start up again. Lastnight ( so 3 days later) the computer shut off again after being on for those 3 days. The temps on my cpu were around the 30c never got above 40c. I tried doing what I did last time by just having power to the cpu with everything unplugged. The code I get when pressing the power button is 00. Everytime I press the power button it just reads 00. Number never changes. That is the first number that shows up and stays on. I have no idea what happend. The motherboard is a x99 delux 2 and the cpu is a 6850.
Thanks, I was hoping it wasnt my cpu. I sent the board to Asus for a RMA so I hope that fixes the problem and I can confirm it was the motherboard and not cpu.
The pop you heard was most likely a capacitor blowing. The problem is that when a lower quality pw supply fails in this manner, it can fry other parts as well ie motherboard, video card, ram, etc, etc. I once had a system brought to me for a no boot condition. When I attempted to turn it ON, the pw supply arced and shot out a decent size spark. Every other part in that system [other than the mech hard drive] was fried; motherboard, processor, ram, video card all destroyed. High end pw supplies ie seasonic or the high end corsairs [generally] do not have this problem. When they fail, they just shutdown and that is it.
Once you get your parts back, you are going to have to test each part in a bench or test system.
