Avenged Vampire Posted July 21, 2011 Posted July 21, 2011 My PC hasn't worked in a year and everyone has given up on it so i decided to ask on here. all of the internal parts have ben replaced except the hard drive. It now boots up to a point then a blue screen flashes and it restarts. After a couple of restarts it cuts off lik its lost all power and im back at the start. All of the internal parts are new and I've tried with a different hard drive with no sucess. Any surgestions??? Quote
KenB Posted July 22, 2011 Posted July 22, 2011 Hi and welcome to ExTS Assuming this is a desktop? Switch off at the wall. Disconnect the printer and any other external devices. Take all cards out except Video card ( for the moment ). So - remove RAM / Sound / Ethernet / etc Disconnect the data cable and the power supply connection from the hard drive and the DVD CDROM. Leave only the 20(4) way connection from the PSU connected. Unscrew the motherboard and sit it on a piece of card / newspaper to insulate it from the case. Switch on. You should get POST beeps. ( if the internal speaker is connected ) Do you? You should get something on screen and it should not crash. Is this the case? If it crashes now swap the Video Card ( if you have one ) and try again. Let me know the results. Quote There is an email going around offering processed pork - gelatin - and salt in a can ......this is simply SPAM !! MiniToolBoxNetwork TestWireless Test
kellydouglas Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 I think you have a system problem, not a virus. The usual causes for random shutdowns are: Overheating triggers auto-shutdown to protect the CPU, Memory module going bad or Power supply going bad. Quote
