Hey,
My pc goes on a loop of powering up cutting out of power every 2 seconds until i switch the main switch off. Now I made an RMA and send it back and they replaced the motherboard. Now two days later same problem. They are collecting it tomorrow again. The question now is did they overlook something like CPU PSU? faulty motherboard nr 2? How did my pc work for 8 months and then this occurred and again 2 days and it occurs. I just wanted to know if it is maybe something in my house... The socket seems to work for all other devices: MAC, my sons PC, PS4 etc.. It s in room with carpet floors ( if this could be an issue) i ve put extra fans in it so it deff not overheating.
I just wanted to see if any of you technical people might know if it is anything i can do from my end... cause i don t know that much about PC s
I just use them for games.
really want to avoid a Third RMA :yes::yes:
