Good morning one and all!
Ok I have this major problem I have a desktop pc tower built by pc speacialist it's a good machine don't get me wrong!
my motherboard developed a fault with the pci express lanes and I had to send it off that was 3 weeks ago only got it back this friday (motherboard is an asus sabertooth p67)
when I phoned to ask what the fault was asus told pc specialist it was my bios causing the problem which was 3602 even thou I was using this bios few months before a fault had developed and was told that asus had put an older virsion of bios on there and therefore was all ok.
comes Friday I got my mobo I reinstalled all wires cpu etc and went to turn on and it was not booting all fans spinning but just not booting. Eventually I mangaged to get it to boot as I looked at the bios and it had not been changed the new bios 3602 was still on there even thou asus said they had put older version on.
I seem to have more problems now than before sending it off for instance when I shut down pc windows would log off but my all my pc fans hdd and mobo would still be on when I go to start up pc it would switch on then straight away turn off i would have to wait abit then try again and then it would turn on but then my pci express lane LED would stay red to say there is a fault so I would have to switch off take out 24pin power to mobo then wait a few mins and reconnect it.
My pc would then boot up fine I can play games etc but then when I shut off pc and leave it again I get the same problems I reinstalled windows no luck taken out anything that might cause a problem no luck it is a very clean machine so there is no dust etc no over heating as my cpu idles at 22 and full load about 45 I just cant think off anything else I don't think it could be my psu as when it's working I can play games ie bf3 no problems I would love to be able to show pc specialist the whole pc so they can have a good look themselves but cant afford the postage would pc specialist be able to help out with this and pay for the whole tower to be sent back as a good will gesture with the problems I have had and as a nice christmas present.
any help would be so helpful
