Rig is in the sig....
Can't complain since this rig has run basically 24/7/365 for the past five years- less a month at most while moving and during vacations.
Anyways, it's on a Cyberpower battery back-up for those moments when I may have a power interruption here in FL during a good thunderstorm.
Problem is this- screen just went black as I was surfing yesterday. No clicks, pops, bangs. I notice the all the lights are slightly flickering. I performed a full reboot and just get a black screen... no mobo beeps, no attempt to POST.
So... I'm leaning towards the CPU, but wondering if the PSU is an issue with the flickering of the lights?? Mobo- no beep codes which tells me CPU, PSU or mobo. Different RAM didn't matter
I don't want to waste a ton of $$ troubleshooting a 5yo rig. It's due for a new D5 pump and tubing anyways, so now is a good time to take her down.
