Well i was wondering if there was something else to this, or just a overclocking problem.

My computer will randomly not post sometimes, meaning, it turns on, everything sounds fine, but nothing comes on the screen. Modem says its not connected to pc, and my keyboard is frozen and lcd power led is yellow. The weird thing about it is, Sometimes just turning off the pc for a good amount of time, around 5-10 mins, it reboots fine. Other times, i have to reconnect the 24 pin connector from my psu to my motherboard and it boots up fine afterwards. Is there something wrong here? The only thing weird about the 24 pin thing, is that the extra 4 pin connector doesnt latch on correctly, but it fits plush onto the 24 connector on the motherboard.

I have a few things that might be it, 1 would be the ammount of overclocking ived done to my system, and another is my psu dieing, but im kinda skeptic on it, since this has been happening for a week, its no big deal, but its really annoying, restarting and the pc not posting.
 
Have you tried any of the troubleshooting steps listed in the stickies on the first page?

How long have you had your power supply for?

Have you tried troubleshooting your system with all of your BIOS settings at their defaults (e.g., no overclocking)?

nope, ill look at em, thanks

good month and a half now.

nope, but how will i try it, like right now, ill restart with ocs up and nothing, so basically its totally random, even more when i have primed the cpu for 24 hours and its stable, same with ram.
 
Try the troubleshooting steps first, and let us know of your progress. You may also want to consider running memtest86+ (for the RAM) and the Hitachi Drive Fitness Test (for the HDD) to eliminate possible trouble areas.
 
Aight so i tried everything in the thread, even got the ultimate boot cd for future builds.

ran stress test programs overnight, mem, cpu, gpu, everything stable

so pretty much, its a weird problem, meaning sometimes it wont post and just turns on, and nothing comes up on the screen, and like i said, the fix is leaving the pc off for a bit, and or replugging the 24 pin from the psu
 
Do you have a UPS?
How old is the wiring in your house?
Do you have another PSU you could use?
I don't think its the switch, but did you inspect your power switch?
