Hi,
I just built my own pc from scratch, worked great for 3 days then out of nowhere I went to turn it on and both sata HDDs would not power up and just sat there making a clicking sound. If I keep trying over and over it will eventually work but even when xp is running both of them can power down att random intervals freezing the os so i need to manually pull the plug and start over.
Sometimes my pc works fine and stays on for a whole day without a bother, then i turn it off a night, come back to turn it on and that same clicking noise in both HDDs occurs. I can hear them trying to start up but failing, or even if i leave them clicking away for a while (which isn't good) they will eventually or at least one will eventually power up.
BIOS tells me my 12v supply is down too low at 9.9-10.2v and is colored in red. And when I hear them boot up from the moment i push the power button, I quickly go to my bios and see the voltage as 10.9-11.9v and coloured in blue for ok.
Is this the PSU? I have notified komplett and am cosidering a replacement on the psu, just wanted a 2nd opinion.
Thanks people!
