Computer stuttering

[Perineum]

Good point. Would also be nice to know what the rest of his hardware is as well.

Comp specs...

Asus eah4890
Gigabyte MA790XT
Corsair TX750
Phenom II X720 BE (OCZ Vendetta 2)
2x2 OCZ Platinum DDR3 RAM (i think it's 7-7-7-24)

Either way i don't overclock anything, i don't see how i can be overdrawing on the PSU... I honestly feel like i'm missing something super basic that should solve everything. It WAS working as early as 2 hours ago, i just don't understand what's going on how could it suddenly not be receiving enough power.

Yeah, not sure what else I can mention

Take a quick look at your motherboard and make sure that your hardware is all snug. As I had mentioned about my brothers system, if you notice that the CPU heatsink is moving slightly or seems that the mounting bracket is broken thats one thing that could cause it. Well, if your motherboard is set to turn off after hitting a certain temperature.

Ah... I see

Well the comp isn't turning off per say... It's just sorta stuttering on start, like it's a flicker off and on, but barely noticeable that it's off. I honestly think the key lies in my GPU flashing 3 leds.

Have you tried with another GPU? Maybe Checked beep-codes without the GPU?

[Perineum]

Where are you located? I have a 1000W test psu I could bring buy to see if that's the issue

Edit... Hell no I ain't going to Ontario!

I have honestly no idea what to do now...
I got it to load once again but only once, I reseated the powersupply unplugged and replugged reseated the video card after about 8 tries it worked once. So i was happy it all worked, loaded and everything. So i want to restart to make sure it works. Then it fails again, i didn't touch anything nothing was changed but it decides not to load.

What could cause this issue after loading once? What settings change or what could trigger a change that would change the power requirements? The BIOS?

Generally the BIOS doesn't change itself as far as I know. Especially once running an O/S. Now you did say that your system "flickered" in which case I assume the monitor. This would most likely be the GPU (as you expected clearly lol) - What I would say, check the power connections to your GPU and make sure that those are not damaged in any way. And If I am correct does this motherboard not have multiple PCIe slots you could attempt putting your GPU into? Just a few more ideas.

Could try a different video card....even if it is just an old PCI card.

sounds like 12v rail not giving the right amps for start up. had this problem in the past
