No, but I can order one. Thanks for the idea.

I took out a Samsung 950 M.2 NVMe that was working fine as my boot drive, reinstalled it, and now neither BIOS nor Windows 10 recognizes it. It heats up when the computer is on. I've taken it out and reinstalled it several times to no avail. I live in a small city and don't think I know...

I did take everything but the PSU out and disconnected everything else from the MB, I mean everything except the CPU and a stand-alone power switch that I bought. Same problem.

I don't really know, but I've done all the things with the standoffs etc. It continues to work with everything except the PSU inside the case. I am going to put it into a new case and see. I think there is too much slack for bends of the cables at the MB to produce a short based on the PSU's...

Replaced the MB. It didn't work. The only thing I haven't replaced is the case.

Thanks, I ordered one. I hope it works.

Off the MB, I mean.

It didn't work when I took everything except the PSU out of the case. I took the I/O shield off when I did that.

It works if everything is out of the case. No extra standoffs. Already bought a stand-alone power switch and tried that, it doesn't help so long as the PSU is still in the case. I hate having to keep buying replacement parts but it seems to be the case and I don't think I can wrap the PSU in...

Neither has anyone else, apparently. I suppose I have to replace the case and hope that works. Love your avatar, BTW ha.

Thanks. Looks like a good possibility.

I do have standoffs. What would the elevation test tell me? It's next to the case on the floor now.

Any recs for a very quiet, professional-looking (for business) case that is sure not to have shorts? I have to leave my PSU outside the open case of my machine or else it powers off suddenly (rest of computer still inside). Must be a short in the case. Already replaced PSU and cables. Thanks.

Yes, I've plugged and unplugged the connectors many times and replaced the cables. Already replaced the PSU. I think it has to be the case but I can find no loose screws. Anyway, entire thing is in the case now except for the PSU and it's working. (PSU is on the floor next to the open case.)

Old problem of machine turning on for a second and then turning off is back. Turns out that apparently it is a case short bc when EVGA PSU is outside of the case, it doesn't happen. Already replaced the PSU bc I thought that was it so don't think it's the PSU that is the problem. Can't figure...

Updating video card driver, and one of the things its says (GeForce Experience 2.9.1) is, "Fixes an intermittent GPU power state fluctuation on idle system." Since the machine powers off within a second or two of my pressing the on switch, I assume that it can't be a software problem.

Same problem is back. Don't know what to do but replace the MB.

I bought a multimeter in case I need it but so far, the problem hasn't recurred.

Ah, I meant that when I tried replacing the power cord, I didn't use one that came with a PS. Now I am using the cord that came with my replacement PS (the Corsair) with my original PS (the EVGA, which I put back in after replacing it with the Corsair didn't work). If any power cord is...

I think I might have used another power cable from another device, so I went and got the heavier-duty one that came with the Corsair. Now it's working. It's bone-chillingly stupid of me not to have tried another proper wall power cable before. However, it sometimes takes days or weeks for the...

Okay, thanks, we'll see. I'm guessing I will have to replace the MB however. If I get the same model, my understanding is that I don't need to do a clean install or anything in software at all, just swap parts.

Still having problems. So took out anti-static bag and looked for long leads. Still no luck. Now have MB out of the case on top of a large book and everything disconnected except the PS to MB and CPU, video card out but RAM in. Using a new power switch, same issue of coming on for a second...

What about putting a layer of plastic tape on the case beneath the MB, for insulation?

Ah. Some folks in other forums said they used anti-static bags and they helped. Will remove mine and see what happens.

Problem recurred, so I took out the MB. Two stand-offs were missing and I found one in a part of the case not touching any parts, but perhaps it was the problem. I put in the two missing stand-offs and put one leaf of an anti-static bag behind the MB and also checked the I/O cover to make sure...

Updated bios to ver 1402, then ran 4 copies of hci memtest simultaneously for 55 minutes, no errors. If problem recurs, will try taking everything out of case, poking around for screws, and then replacing.

No smells, no desk lamp dimming except on startup, no UPS trips. It's working at the moment and will try bios update and mem test.

Problem is, it can go for days or weeks without the problem occurring. Maybe I should try transplanting to a different kind of case? Or is there a way to avoid hooking it up to the case power button but still be able to power it on?

Seemingly complicated power problem but I don’t think it’s the PS unit. New builder so hope someone can explain to me why it’s a simple problem. All components bought new in the past few months. Computer powers off suddenly (not goes through the shutdown procedure, but just...

Conclusion: Swapped the Asus for a Pioneer BDR-209DBK. The Pioneer works fine.

Thanks. I'll return it to Newegg.

Built my own machine for the first time, Z170 Windows 10. Win recognizes Asus BC-12B1ST blu-ray/DVD drive, can tell it to eject, but all discs just spin with the light blinking. It can't read any kind of disc (DVD-ROM, DVD, BR, or music CD). File Explorer hangs up when I try to open the...
