ShutMeUp!!!'s computer.

[Chatter]

Talk about his computer here.


lol

[ShutMeUp!]

Oh, geez, lol

An entire discussion just for this thing:

[BlazE]

What's wrong with it? People here may be able to help.

[ShutMeUp!]

It powers on but no lights, no display and it shuts down after a few seconds, but fans spin.

Still trying to figure out the problem. :/

Nothing wrong, actually, but it's just that i didn't expect this thread to be actually made, lol

Sounds like the motherboard is bad. If it was just shutting off I'd think it was overheating, but the fact that you get no display and no lights sounds like a bigger problem to me. I'm no expert of course.

Invalid ram?

Maybe, i've no mobo lying around so i think im fucked, i was also suspecting PSU but not really sure, i can give the full story to see if it helps.

Invalid ram?

Doubtful, i should try, wouldn't hurt, but it's still not likely

1: Remove all USB items and try.

2: Check for Mobo shorts.

3: Check that the CPU fan is still attached and spinning. (I had one come loose and made the comp auto-shutdown to protect the cpu)

4: Remove all but 1 stick of RAM and try. If no boot, rotate in another stick and try.

Imma try soon, i'll keep ya posted on the results.

4.B: If you have more than 2 ram slots try in the next ram slot pair. Had an issue with ram before and 2 out of 4 ram slots were bad.
5: Might be a faulty power supply. Perhaps not supplying +12v which would prevent power to critical components. You can disconnect it and short 2 pins (this varies if you have a proprietary system e.g. some compaq/hp/dell) google it. You can then use a voltage meter to test the power supply.

Oh, yea, i saw about that in a vid! Might actually give it a try after trying 1 to 4 (B). (Which i'll do in about 6 hours, right now i can't)

Plus i remember having a "Memory voltage" value being ridiculously high when it could (almost) boot.

BTW, I made this topic, because you getting your pc fixed is what topics derail to like 10% of the time. I figured it was time for this
