I've spent a lot on this new computer, and I hoped that I will get rid of some problems the old pc had .

Problems like that drag & drop artifact I was showing you in a video a few months ago, that unfortunately is still present here .

Today I played Metro 2033 and Rage, turned the PC off and went to bed, one hour ago I turned it on and guess what ? By pressing the power button nothing would happen, unplugged the power cable from the psu and plugged it again, it worked .

Can someone tell me why the fuck is this shit happening ?

You had a bad OC and pulling out the power plug for a while reset the BIOS and solved the problem?

Yeah, the only part I still have from the old PC is the case and the PSU which I'm excluding because it's brand new .

Had problems with the old pc as well, the motherboard was touching the case and the pc wouldn't turn on .

Either your case sucks or you're not using standoffs (or extremely bad ones). There's no grounding in your case, meaning it can quite easily short.

I need a new case it seems, probably will be going for the CoolerMaster 912 Plus since it is a beautiful and cheap case.

Thanks for the help Werelds and everyone else . ( human_steal had an unexpected ability in guessing the bad part in my story )
