Help weird PC problems!
-
Upon pressing the on button, power LED/HDD LED will be on, fan will spin for 3 seconds then everything went off. Then it will auto power up again. Then the same thing will happen and it went off again. And then it will auto power up again.
Have changed the Power supply/ RAM /motherboard and problem persist.
Tried troubleshooting at Simlim already but it doesnt help. Took me 1 hr to finally power up this PC and typing these now. Problems will sometimes be intermittent (sometimes can just power up normally but sometimes can't).
Before the problems came, PC will just suddenly on by itself when I forgot to switch off the main power switch, as if got ghost.
Using the following config:
Intel LGA 775 3.0Ghz 1mb cache
1gb RAM (kingston)
Motherboard MSI 945PL Neo
PSU ACBEL 350W
GF6600 GT -
Frankly, I don't know what went wrong. It's a very freak incident. A PC wouldn't power up by itself without power, even with the main switch on.
After changing so many things, I wonder if you want to start to change your house's wiring instead. Perhaps electricity is leaking somewhere... I'm no electricity expert, get someone to check that just in case.
Powering up and down indicates problems with power, so it's better to get an electrician to check that nothing is wrong with the wiring. -
ya i pretty much agree with mayi.. u already machiam changed the whole comp..
could it be some usb device causing the problems? try remove all usb devices, or disable usb controllers and see wad happens. including firewire is any.
can also try using ur comp in other power sockets in ur home.. -
I brought the pc to simlim. They tested there also the same problem.Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Frankly, I don't know what went wrong. It's a very freak incident. A PC wouldn't power up by itself without power, even with the main switch on.

The problem was intermittent, so after they suspected it is a cable which "shorted"....they changed the cable and gave me back the pc...
Now at home, the problem still intermittent. Sometimes can just immediately power on. Sometimes cannot...will forever see the black "no signal" sign on my PC screen and the PC will keep on powering up and off again and again.... -
Processor? Did you change it too?

Hmm... probably the technicians are right and they missed out something also. I would suggest getting a PSU with higher wattage.Originally posted by laoda99:I brought the pc to simlim. They tested there also the same problem.

Given your PC specs, it's a bit on the low side to start up a computer. A 400W PSU would be just nice.

i had this problem too last time
and somehow i managed to solve it by switching the cables inside the cpu
and quickly reformat the computer
it is not power problem but the computer having some error i guess -
Nope. Now I suspect it is the processor. Haiz.Originally posted by furb:Processor? Did you change it too? -
2 Ways for you to solve it.
1) Open up ur comp, take out the RAM for like 5 mins, and SLOT it back in properly.
2) After doing that, reformat your comp, it should be stable by then. -
not so true. my computer will automactically on if it detects signal from the internet cable port. means that if i switch on my modem, my com will startup by itself(its true when power switch is still on).Originally posted by ndmmxiaomayi:Frankly, I don't know what went wrong.

That's weird. A computer is programmed in such a way only electricity jolts it up (provided that the PC is shut down and not in other modes).Originally posted by manyu882:not so true. my computer will automactically on if it detects signal from the internet cable port. means that if i switch on my modem, my com will startup by itself(its true when power switch is still on).
Any hardware will not start the PC up, unless it's not shutdown properly (only in some PCs, mine does). -
congrats........
u have met the world youngest computer genie
3 yrs ago, i got this prob
my bro, the world youngest computer genie's brother, said it was some kind of stupid hardware spoil..... too old, hopeless... time to change a hardware
2 weeks later, he buy a piece of metal and stuck it in the com and took out the stupid hardware,
my com worked!!! but slower..... and he said he took that hardware from the gabbage, that hardware may seems lousy and old, but it saved my com
ok, my story ends here
so here is wat i advice, go to a com shop tell the person wat had happened and buy that thingy
btw i didnt saw wat my bro put in, it maybe a belt, maybe a screw, or a piece of shiit that made my com working, but i can confirm it is something changed in the com which affected the speed of my com
GOOD LUCK^^
the world youngest computer genie is 13 yrs old this yr ^^ -
something to be sure of, i confirm that the thingy is NOT the RAM

I think i know what happened. Your motherboard bios is corrupted. Like mine, in my case if i remove the processor including the fins and putting it back to its original position your comp world be back to normal
