Using Gigabyte Am3+ Mobo 735W Power Supply Relatively New 8gb Gddr video card 16gig ram
All pieces save for the Graphics card were bought in 2014 or so.
Computer has been working well for about 4 months and problems started.
Computer would occasionally freeze and on reboot, be stuck in post... it was not able to find the boot drive. Clearing the power or unplugging and replugging in the boot drive fixed the issue.
Eventually the computer froze, but on reboot the post began to appear on the screen for a quick moment, before the screen went black (monitor still reading a signal, blue light). Computer would still boot, fans would run, but keyboard light idles and nothing appears on screen.
I cleared the CMOS by replacing the battery, and it booted up normally. Played games for a night, all was well, powered down before bed. Next morning, dead again, and I had to reseat CMOS battery to fix.
Any idea what is going on? I dont get any beeps when the issue is present, even if I unseat the RAM. I have it running right now because I reseated battery, but I am sure it will return or continue to get worse as it has been.
