A few days ago I force shutdown the PC using the power button on the case. Once I tried booting, I only hear a *CLICK* from the PSU. If I hold the button, I can hear a very quiet, consistent, ticking sound, also from the PSU. I did a little searching and found a suggestion to boot without the GPU, then just re-install it. And that worked. I've had to do this 3 times now (running Windows 10 15002 and had some freezing/lockups).
Last night, I opted to gracefully shut down the PC within windows and didn't think twice. This morning, it wouldn't boot. Removed GPU, booted, then reinstalled, and everything is OK now.
Few items to note:
- During the 2nd or 3rd boot, I saw an "Overclocking failed" before getting into windows. I only had the default XMP profile on the RAM, no OC on the CPU as of now. Removed the profile and I've been running that way for the last day
- I've done some gaming on Rocket League since this first happened and the performance has seemed just fine.
- I've noticed I can't have 2 YouTube video's playing at the same time, One of them gets really hazy like bad TV antenna reception.
- Acer KG240 144hz over DP -> GPU
- (2) Samsung U2415 daisy chained together over DP -> GPU
- This is a very new build and had only been turned off once or twice since the original build. It was running for a few weeks when the first force shutdown occurred.
