Computer took a shit on me
« on: July 22, 2011, 03:51:16 PM »
So I think there might be a shortage of some sort in my PC. I have diagnosed it to an extent and I believe the issue is either in the motherboard or the power supply. Basically when I try and power my pc up it sends power to the motherboard and acts like it is starting up. After less than a second it all shuts back down. I was wondering if any of you guys have had a similar issue to this one and if you had any fixes. I can resort to buying new hardware but right now that is one of the last things I want to do right now. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

*try cleaning out your cpu fan and make sure it spins up for the short time that your pc does boot up (could be heat issue)
 - if that doesn't work….
*try resetting your mobo bios (should be a little button somewhere on your mobo). (could be bios issue such as an unstable overclock)
 - if that doesn't work….
*try swapping out the rammmmmm (probably not a problem, but you should check anyway)
 - if that doesn't work…
*try swapping out the power supply (could be the problem…easy relatively cheap fix…..this is your second most likely problem imo)
 - if that doesn't work
*try swapping out your cpu (could be the problem if your cpu got fried for some reason……I don't think this is your issue, but it could be)
 - if that doesn't work
*try swapping out your mobo (sounds like this may be your issue, but try the above easier solutions first)
 - if that doesn't work
*build a new pc (start mowing lawns)

Alright, thank you. My biggest hunch is the power supply. I'll try and get a different one in there and see if it fixes it. If that is the issue I'll end up just buying a new supply. If it's the mobo I'll most likely get a new one with ram/processor.

I did some troubleshooting and found out that it is something with the power supply. I shunted the ground and the start up pins in the 24 pin mobo connector on the PSU. Attempted to start it up to test voltage outputs and it wouldn't even start. Good thing it has a 5 year warranty so I contacted them and hopefully they get back to me quickly, but who knows how productive their support staff is on a Friday  :-[

Why don't you just go pick a cheap one up til this one gets back to you?

I'm considering it. Probably get one and take it out of the box very carefully, use it for the weekend or whatever then return it :D
