PC Specialist PC has served me well for over 7 years - very happy customer!
Sadly it has started to develop issues. It started not booting properly now and again (no POST beep), and would need to be restarted a couple of times before it would eventually boot to the BIOS menu:
Once it got started however, it had no problems at all. I was doing some reasonably heavy multitasking/gaming on it a couple of nights ago and it didn't break a sweat - it's never crashed in use.
As of a couple of days ago however, it won't work at all. I replaced the CMOS battery and reset the CMOS, but to no avail. I've tried flashing the BIOS via the USB flashing feature on the motherboard, but I couldn't get this to work. The CPU and DRAM LEDs are both flashing when the PC is started up - any ideas? What's the most likely culprit for a gradual death - motherboard, PSU, CPU?
