A formerly working (for almost 3 years) sandy bridge build (running 24x7) now refuses to stay powered on. When I press the power button, the fans spin up, and sometimes it beeps and gives me a bios screen, sometimes even gets to recognizing the hds and has even started to boot a few times, before just powering off.
Any thoughts? I've reseated the ram modules. Confirmed all connections (sata, power, etc) are tight. My best guess is that the power supply is misbehaving. But I'd hate to replace the power supply if you guys think it is likely to be motherboard or cpu issue. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
