I recommend downloading and running Reimage. It's a computer repair tool that has been proven to identify and fix many Windows problems with a high level of success.
I've used it in the past to identify and fix everything from blue screens (BSOD's), ActiveX errors, corrupt files and processes, dll/exe/sys errors, recover lost memory, Windows update problems, defragging, malware removal etc.
You can download it direct from this link http://downloadreimage.com/directdownload.php. (This link will automatically start a download of Reimage that you can save to your computer.)
Please I so seriously need help.
I have a fujitsu siemens amilo pro v2030 laptop & something is seriously wrong.
I boot it up & within seconds it shuts itself down, so I try to reboot it & sometimes it will boot up & load windows & most of the time it will try boot up but the screen wont come on & nothing will happen.
I think its a software problem as on the odd occasion I can use the laptop no probems.
Please someone help
how does it do when you boot into safe mode, try tapping F8 at boot, before it begins to load windows
Hi. I was given this Laptop (Satellite M60 -183) with the problem described.
After you press the power butoon, the power led turns on, you can hear the fan spin (only a few times not always), the screen stays black, and after a few 3-5 seconds it just turns off.
I have tried it several times with the same results. Also I tried using only ac power, reseating ram, hard drive, dvd rom, removing everything, but with the same result.
I have now dissasembled the entire laptop and try to operate it with just the basics. They told me that the original charger had stopped working and they replaced it with a generic one.
The laptop specifications say that it needs 19v and 3.95A, while the new charger has 19v and 6A.Do you believe the difference in the ampers could damage the system this way?....
Any help appreciated. Thanks
In my opinion BIOS is damaged.https://forum.toshiba.eu/showthread.php?61987-Satellite-M60-183-shuts-down-few-seconds-after-power-up
First post here.
Basis of my problem.
-Dad was fixing some electrical powerpoints in the house and needed to switch off the main power supply.
-Computer was on, lost power once main supply was off.
-After he was done and main power was back on, i press power button on comp, starts up, then a few seconds later it shuts down again.
My first thought was that the PSU is dead and tried placing an old one from an older computer to see if that boots it up properly.
No luck, same problem occurs.
My motherboard is a Gigabyte, Model: GA-8VM800PMD-775-RH
I even tried clearing the CMOS, following instructions from the Motherboard manual.
Any ideas as to whats actually wrong with it, and what i need to fix it?
Wait so basically, you are saying that your computer wont work?
It might not be a problem with your motherboard, probably something else

The machine powers up and I am able to get to the screen at which I push the DEL key to go to BIOS settings but the machine just powers down. The green mobo light remains on. I get a no signal on the monitor and the fans quit. I have checked all connections but can't put my finger on it. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I have a Lenovo IdeaCentre Q180 (Machine type 3110).I use it mostly for microsoft office (Word & Excel) and basic internet use.A couple of weeks ago shutted down while I was using it.Afte that, I could power it up but only for a few seconds and then shuts down again.I left it for a whole day and tried again with no luck.I opened it, changed hdd, still shuts down. Tried also with a different memory stick, no luck either. It stays open for about 10 seconds, the screen shows the boot screen but shuts down before I can do anything (go to bios etc).

I have a Dell Inspiron 3537 and every time I press the power button, it will reach the windows logo but then suddenly shuts off. On the second try it will start properly.
But I have generally noticed that it takes a long time to reach the desktop and it is slightly slower.
Any suggestions?

I have a machine on my network that will shut itself off every 60 minutes approximately.... Not restart but shut off completely.
I am going to look into if the fans are working properly and make sure it is not over heating. I am also going to check the power options....
BUT.... I have a few other computers on my network that keep restarting for no reason. The person will be working on it and it will just restart. I am not sure if this is related, but I am wondering if there is any viruses that can cause this.
Any ideas or help on this matter is appreciated!
Make and model of the PC's might be helpful. IBM Netvista's have a leaky capacitor problem and I have had a few Compaq's that have had the same issues.
Hi, My T410 would not power on, nothing when pressing the button. It will power up if I remove the cmos battery, plug the power in, unplug, re-connect the cmos battery and then plug the power in, and it works fine then...until it's powered off of course and the cycle begins again. I thought it may be a faulty cmos battery so I have changed that to no avail. Next step is to change the keyboard I guess? the power button seems to do nothing...it will not power the laptop off etc. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and found a solution before I spend £20 or so on a keyboard off Ebay.

Hello and welcome to Techspot.
Can you boot into safe mode?
Can you access the bios?
Try disconnecting anything not required to boot the system. Just leave 1 stick of ram/hdd/video card/cpu/mobo and see if it boots.
Check that the heatsink is properly attached.
Check the mobo for any swollen or leaking capacitors. See HERE for further info.
See if any of the above helps.

So just today while i was on my PC, it randomly shut off. No warnings. Nothing.
I thought it overheated so i watched some TV and came back an hour later hoping it would start up fine, but instead my computer made it all the way to the desktop then shut off. After it shuts off it continues to try and start back up by itself but fails and shuts off.
Ive gone through and made sure all the wires are plugged in securely and it still hasnt fixed the problem. Everything seems to be getting power which leads me to believe that i might have a bad power supply.

Did you smell or see any smoke? We all made mistakes like this at the start... The motherboard is probably fried
I Have fitted a new motherboard (MSI K9AGM2) toegether with an AMD Sempron cpu and 1 gig ram purchased as a package. The unit booted up but while I was in setup keying in date and time everything shutdown (unit ran for 5 mnutes). Now when I try to start it goes for 1 to 2 seconds then everything shuts down including fan on power supply. If i unplug the Jpw1 (power for cpu) it keeps running ok and doesn't switch off without the cpu. Heat sink checked and reset - doesn't seem to be hot and couldn't in 1 second. Have unpluged power to hard drive and cd but that doesn't change it. Must be something switching everything off at startup. Any idea's??
Make sure you have connected that 4, 6 or 8 pin power connector from the power supply to the motherboard near the CPU
recently bought a Dell Inspiron 14 5459 on June 12, 2016 and first thing I noticed is that to turn on the laptop I need to press and hold down the power button at least for 3 seconds in order for the laptop to boot up, this seems strange, I brought up this issue at the Dell Store where I bought the laptop and the sales people there told me that they noticed this in most Inspiron models. Is this normal?

This is unusual we would suggest you to check with another system to see if the same happens.
Kindly provide us with the service tag and email address.
So this time the problem started out as a simple issue Whenever I bump the desk or move the keyboard out with too much force the computer shuts off Everybody told me that it could have been a loose connection so I checked it all and replugged everything back in The computer starting working fine for about hours then it just shut off randomly while I was playing a game shuts off computer and around it any Power shuts off randomly, movement This time though it shut off without me bumping into anything SO is this a power supply issue I m using a -watt supply while running a GT This is the right power amount so that s not my concern And Power shuts off randomly, and any movement around computer shuts it off now the problem has gotten worse to the point where I turn on the computer and nothing shows up again Windows doesn t load and the screen Power shuts off randomly, and any movement around computer shuts it off is on too You here the fans and everything but nothing will load All my parts from my old issue were replaced EXCEPT the power supply and CD-drive I don t think it could be another loose connection b c now nothing even shows up Please help nbsp
Have you tried plugging into a different surge protector and different outlet?
Sounds like you need to swap the power supply to me.

Hi there!
When i ran Ccleaner today for my daily "tempremoval", the program started and almost immediately shut down by itself. Then i clicked the quick launch icon in the start menu, and it says that the program doesn't exit anymore...
So i tried reinstall the program but the same thing happens.
This may seem like a minor problem but this is just one of the problems I'm working with right know, but the solution to this problem may stop some of the others.
Please help!!
Hi, my computer turns off after about 10 seconds after pressing the power button.
If i try to power up again ( after it turns off)i get nothing, so i have to turn off the switch in the back and wait a few seconds.
After waiting it does turn on for 10 seconds and shuts down again.
I'm thinking power supply ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Hope I'm in the right place.
Not sure this will help, but it may be useful, . .
The power button light located on the front of the computer illuminates and blinks or remains solid to indicate different states:
If the power light is green and the computer is not responding, see "Diagnostic Lights."
If the power light is blinking green, the computer is in standby mode. Press a key on the keyboard, move the mouse, or press the power button to resume normal operation.
If the power light is off, the computer is either turned off or is not receiving power.
Reseat the power cable into both the power connector on the back of the computer and the electrical outlet.
If the computer is plugged into a power strip, ensure that the power strip is plugged into an electrical outlet and that the power strip is turned on. Also bypass power protection devices, power strips, and power extension cables to verify that the computer turns on properly.
Ensure that the electrical outlet is working by testing it with another device, such as a lamp.
Ensure that the main power cable and front panel cable are securely connected to the system board.
If the power light is blinking amber, the computer is receiving electrical power, but an internal power problem might exist.
Ensure that the voltage selection switch is set to match the AC power at your location (if applicable).
If the power light is steady amber, a device might be malfunctioning or incorrectly installed.
Remove and then reinstall the memory modules.
Remove and then reinstall any cards.
Remove and then reinstall the graphics card, if applicable.
Ensure that the processor power cable is securely connected to the system board.
Eliminate interference. Some possible causes of interference are:
Power, keyboard, and mouse extension cables
Too many devices on a power strip
Multiple power strips connected to the same electrical outlet

Sounds like you didn't properly paste and attach your cpu.
It sounds as though I m shuts powering up... after seconds PC off having the same problem or a very similar one as dmdmkm on a PC I m working on I ve worked on computers for years and this is PC shuts off seconds after powering up... the first time I have come across this problem I was PC shuts off seconds after powering up... brought an eMachines T AMD Athlon w W power supply that would no longer boot when the power button was pressed My first guess was that either the power supply was dead the power switch on the tower was broken or the motherboard was fried To kill two birds with one stone I bought a new tower with a W power supply and transferred all the components over to it Now when I go to boot the PC it powers up for - seconds and then shuts right off The only things plugged into this motherboard are a PCI modem and a stick of memory MB DDR PC everything else is built into the motherboard If anyone has a suggestion that can help me either fix this problem or narrow the problem down so that I can identify exactly what s wrong with the PC so I won t have to go though all of this again if it ever shows up in a future PC it would be greatly appreciated Thank you nbsp
I have a s t HP Slimline computer that I bought from HP and a half years ago The warranty ran out after shuts after Computer 3 seconds off a year The HP tech guys in India can t help me except to help me buy a brand new computer or they will fix it for if I get it done by the end of March I only paid for it when I bought it The problem I now Computer shuts off after 3 seconds have with it is when I turn it on then it will automatically turn itself off in seconds without rebooting I ve talked to a couple of computer geeks here where I live They say it could be the motherboard or maybe the power supply I m hoping that it s the power supply because then I can fix my Computer shuts off after 3 seconds computer Computer shuts off after 3 seconds for However if it s the motherboard then the motherboard would be too costly to replace Does anyone out there know what the heck is wrong with my computer Munchie nbsp
Take it to a shop and have them check the power supply. The shouldnt charge you , with the idea in mind that you will then buy one from them if this be the problem.
Hello, I have a computer that I have built about 2 or 3 months ago. It works great up until the other day I decided to turn it on, but it turned on for about 3 seconds, then shut off and it does it every time I try to boot it up. I have changed the power supply and it does the exact same thing.
System Specs are as followed:
AMD Athlon 3800+ (Single Core)
1GB Ram
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS graphics card
ASUS M2N-MX SE Motherboard
160 GB Hard Drive
That is pretty much it along with 4 other fans here and there. But as you see, I have heard lots about this problem so I decided to change PSU's but it does the exact same thing. So I am thinking its not my PSU.
Please help, its my gaming computer and is literally killing me cuz its not working!! lol but yea, any advice/help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!
I would have to ask the same questions... Do you get a post screen?????
If not, I would think that the prob, would be a bad CPU...

try unplugging the power cord for a minute or so and then try again.
It has done this for a long time now - I use firefox mostly but could do with IE7 working properly as well.
When I start it up it loads and the tabs appear and then it shuts itself down sometimes if I start it up again it will work OK but sometimes it will continue shutting itself down again.
I have tried the windows install of IE7 from the microsoft site and it appeared to be installing it (reinstalling) but the same problem persists....
In Tools, Internet Options, Advanced, click on "Restore I.E Settings" and see if that doesn't fix it.
help .. my system is shutting down.. save all progresss blah balhh...

Dell Dimension 2350 XP Home edition. Computer boots fine initially then gets to desktop and before you can do anything will power off. Can even get into safe mode and it will power off. Assuming this is hardware related I checked power supply; tests good. Fans work. I think I can hear hard drive slow spinning but cannot be sure. I reseated cards & replugged everything in again looking for bad connections. Any suggestions? Motherboard? Ram? Hard Drive?
You might try unplugging the hard drive and see if it still shuts down after a certain amount of time. If the same thing happens, pull the memory and see if you get beep codes and whether or not the pc still shuts down after the same amount of time. If pulling the power to the hard drive takes care of it, it is probably a software issue.
Hello everyone so as the title says I have been having some troubles with my desktop It started when I was playing MafiaII when all of a sudden a blue screen came up and said that shuts Computer in seconds down 3-4 it was saving memory or something of the sort This has happened before a couple of times randomly in the past but all I had to do was restart the system and everything would be peachy keen So after Computer shuts down in 3-4 seconds this happened I went through the normal restarting process everything was going normally and then as Computer shuts down in 3-4 seconds the windows logo was doing it s crazy startup thing it froze This has never happened before so I tried to restart it again this time it only runs for about seconds and then shuts Computer shuts down in 3-4 seconds down So now I am stuck in this hole trying to find something to give me a clue as of what the problem is Here are my specs EVGA GeForce nForce iQ socket intel core quad Q GHZ GB DDR - memory ZEROtherm CF socket copper base heatpipes CPU cooler Here is what I tried so far Bought a new PSU and replace the old one That didn t do anything so I brought it back Took the CPU fan off and replaced the thermal grease During that process I cleaned out the fan took out the mobo and cleaned everything I also made sure the wiring was correct and that nothing was loose I ve been trying all this with the bare minimals so I m not sure what it could be I checked the RAM aswell so I think that s out as well So now I come to you guys I ve been searching all day for some solutions but every one seems to have a different solution Any help is greatly appreciated I disconnected the pin v input to the CPU and it atleast stayed on nothing happened but the computer didn t turn itself off Not to sure what this means nbsp
which graphics card are you using and can you boot into Safe Mode? if so, uninstall your graphics drivers and then reinstall them. it's sounding like the graphics card or the drivers are to blame, which is a fairly common problem. Windows may not be booting because there is a problem with the driver and therefore needs to be reverted or updated. the card could also be overheating in which case you may need to let it cool off before trying to boot windows again.

I'll see if I can get it moved
Woke up to notice that my computer was off. I typically leave it running all the time.
Wouldn't start. I press the power button, the processor does it's thing for about 5 seconds, beeps and then shuts off. Happens like this every time. Cleaned the fans and lubed them. Noticed that the fan over the heat sync wasn't moving. Replaced it. Still will not stay on for more than 5 secs. Even when nothing is hooked up other than the motherboard.
Had the power supply tested as this happened to me a year ago. Tested fine. Had it looked at by a 'professional' but could not figure out.
Running an Orion power supply. AMD 1.2ghz. 512 ram. 2 hard drives, a cd drive and a DVD drive. 16' monitor, Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse. Windows XPSP2.

It could be a heat problem. Remove and reinstall the heatsink and when you reinstall it, be sure you have full contact between the bottom of the heatsink and the top of the processor. And be sure to use a light coating of some kind of heatsink grease or the like.

Hey guys Firstly i would just like Down Laptop 30 Seconds After Shuts to point out that im not a novice with computers due to it being my career but i feel this great forum is my last hope before i sell Laptop Shuts Down After 30 Seconds this laptop for Spares and Repairs ill start from the beginning The laptop is an Acer Aspire and it has Windows Vista Home Premium bit OS installed upon it well last night i was simply on the laptop searching the web not doing a great deal just some eBaying and general web searching then i got a UAC alert and it said quot Windows Command Processor quot instantly i had never seen this UAC command before in my life so i thought to myself quot Hmm this is clearly a type Laptop Shuts Down After 30 Seconds of malware virus quot so i clicked cancel on the UAC then it appeared again and again and again no matter how many times i clicked cancel it appeared again then my AVG Anti Virus detected a Virus and kept saying it was moved to the vault over and over so i thought right i will boot my system down and reboot into Safe Mode and perform a malware scan well as soon as i rebooted the system it shut down half way through of the quot Loading Drivers and Files quot screen during the start up of Safe Mode i tried Safe Mode with Networking and Command Prompt too same problem so i thought perhaps it has overheated i left it hours and tried again still same problem i then cleaned the CPU and HEatsink and reapplied thermal paste etc and still same problem so i removed the harddrive from the laptop to check if it was due to that it boots up and then crashes after seconds You could read into this and think Hardware fault but my question to that would be Why has it only just started happening my laptop was fine until that quot Windows Command Processor quot UAC possible malware bug appeared Any help would be extremely appreciated Thanks UPDATE I am able to get the laptop to stay on only when ive removed both RAM chips from the motherboard which is of course not that useful it seems that when booted up the fan started really fast and is appearing to operate on full throttle i have had an over heating problem before but this was solved with thermal paste and again ive replaced the thermal paste again on the CPU

I've already replaced the PSU, added some arctic silver to the cpu, disconnected everything except for the 24pin and 4pin aux connectors. The computer turns on, then shuts itself off almost right away.
I disconnected the 4pin aux connector, so just the 24pin was connected and NOTHING else, and it stayed on. So I pinpointed it to the 4pin....what does this mean?

Hi please could someone help:
In scenario 1 with everything as originally plugged in when I turned it on the boot menu started and a second after scanning IDE it cut out and switched off.
In scenario 2 with the IDE out the PC got past the boot menu, showed the safe mod, run normally etc options for a few seconds then cut out.
In scenario 3 with the orange flat wires from the hard drive and DVD drive switched and the IDE in (friend said this might work) it got to the part where the squares create the windows flag and cut out almost immediately.
My PC is a cutstom built PC on windows 7, please could anyone tell me what might be wrong and how to fix it?
Welcome to the forum. It's not clear have you just got this PC or has it worked OK before? If its a new PC have you done a clean install of windows not tried to use an old installhttp://www.pchelpforum.com/windows-7-a/127584-pc-auto-shuts-down-few-seconds-after-boot.html
Hello everyone, first post here and of course it's a problem.
I have a Compaq Presario that I just bought off eBay without a HDD. I got the HDD today and went to plug it in and wouldn't you know, the Computer Starts up, I see "Compaq" and then it shuts down. Right before it shuts down it shows the Power Light disappearing on the Status bar on the Laptop. I could really use some help. The only thing I did was disconnect everything to get a bad floppy drive out. I'm a Mac person myself, so I'm not sure whats going wrong here.
The problem started after i reinstalled XP, for system slow performance issue.
After XP installation, the noise from one of the system's fan was too much
and the PC shut down abrubtly.
Now the processor (intel) starts,Motherboard LED glows, CPU fan runs, but shuts down after few seconds. Now there's no much noise from any of the fans, but the fans do work.
No POST, No Video. Keyboard does not respond. No LEDs glow on Keyboard.
Not able to enter BIOS.
I've reseated RAM, CPU and also have cleaned the RAM.
All physical connections are correct.SMPS Works fine.
Please help me with this...
I'd say system slow performance followed by high fan speed followed by shut down sounds like the CPU overheated. Since you now get no post, it sounds like the CPU is damaged. My 2 cents.
Hello I have a HP Pavillion dv laptop I have started to have some problems with it starting in May It would start to boot up like normal and then after it had a few screens of text it would shut down and restart The LED lights would turn on I canhear the cd start up then it dies After - times it would start Well maybe after weeks of this problem happening it just disappeared for a month I was glad but then in mid June it happened again Luckily it didn t happen alot Ok after all of that the problem has resurfaced The lights would turn on the fans turn cdrom clicks but this time the screen won t do anything and it restarts after - 5 shuts seconds won't Laptop after HP up, boot down seconds Can anyone give me any HP Laptop won't boot up, shuts down after 5 seconds advice I have tried pulling out the battery and not plug it in and then hit the start button I have cleaned out the HP Laptop won't boot up, shuts down after 5 seconds vents on the bottom of the laptop When I did get my pc running a couple of weeks ago it ran flawlessly no problems at all I am trying to get it to boot up but am failing Again any advice will be helpful nbsp
Remove any addon component (like any external USB connections)
Remove any disc in the CD drive
Try blowing out the fan again (actually you may need to really open the laptop up, and clean and re-paste the CPU heatsink - but this is difficult)
Also reseat and blow dust away from the Ram card(s)
Hi all,
When I turn on my computer, it stays on for a couple seconds then shuts down, the monitor never activates so I cannot get into the BIOS. There are no beeps when I turn it on. The first time I booted it up since I put in the new processor, RAM and video card, there was a loud pop on the first boot, I have no idea where it emanated from.
I just purchased an ASUS K with will PC two after Problem and shuts Post, seconds down not new V Deluxe motherboard along with an AMD Problem with new PC will not Post, and shuts down after two seconds socket Problem with new PC will not Post, and shuts down after two seconds CPU two sticks of dual channel Corsair meg memory PC and an Aspire X-Dreamer II case with watt power supply I am running two WD HD S in a simple IDE Master Slave config a Diamond Stealth meg video card Upon building the computer I started it up it booted properly and I went into the BIOS to setup and check that everything was seen Problem with new PC will not Post, and shuts down after two seconds by the motherboard upon booting into Windows Prof everything was fine I had an upgrade to XP bit I ran the upgrade it installed fine the only thing I noticed was the screen blanked out twice while doing I think the hardware configuration first time I have installed XP though so that could be normal Anyway once it had installed it rebooted to startup for the first time upon startup it flashed the XP screen once then rebooted it would not boot in safe mode either I left it for the night woke up next morning when in to start the PC and it powered up for two seconds then shut down tried again same thing the third time it powered on and stayed on but did not post I do not believe the hard drives began spinning either I thought it was a grounding issue so I added more separators same thing though so I pulled everything off but the CPU motherboard and memory same issue no posting beeps from BIOS nothing happens I am able still to use the on off switch on the front of the computer the heat sink is down tight the thermal grease spread out fine so at this point it is beyond me what is wrong it could be power supply or MB or CPU or memory I don t have another socket MB to test with and the only other power supply I have is I believe watts and it does not have the extra plug to power the CPU Any suggestions would be appreciated sorry for the novel but wanted to provide as much info as I could Thanks nbsp
Have you tried formatting and putting on a clean load. Sometimes, when upgrading, old drivers from a previous O/S can wreak havoc with a system. It's the best suggestion I can make at this point.
When I plug in my computer and flip the power switch on the back my pc try s My Computer a on after seconds few i shuts it off turn to turn on My Computer shuts off a few seconds after i turn it on the fan s run and it sounds like it s trying to power up and then shut s off My Computer shuts off a few seconds after i turn it on - seconds later And when I try to turn it on from the power button in the front it doesn t do anything I ve sent it back to the place I ordered it from CyberPowerPc times and they send me it back with the same problem happening they have replaced the motherboard and stick s of ram and it say s on the invoice they tested it before they shipped it to me so is something happening in shipping or am I being screwed WesternDigital AD RAPTOR x GB SATA RPM Hard Drive INTEL QUAD CORE Q GHZ CPU X GB CORSAIR DDR XMS EXTREME Ram C D ASUS STRIKER EXTREME SLI QUAD I Motherboard EVGA GF ULTRA MB PCI-E Graphic s Card ULTRA V-SERIES W POWER SUPPLY BLACK NZXT ZERO ALUMINUM Full tower WINDOWS VISTA HOME PREMIUM -BIT OS nbsp
Hi Millurn welcome to the site.
seem odd that they Would BOTH not work. Might be the CPU might be at fault here. I am surprised that it does not work as everything is compatible.
It also sounds like it might be the PSU. Can you get hold of another 400W plus PSU and see if that works. If so then you know what the Issue is.
hope this helps
My computer hard drive(ATA) was clicking and then the computer would shut down when turned on. I have just put a new Hard Drive(SATA ) in and now when I turn on there is no clicking but the the computer still shuts down after a few seconds. I did notice (when I was putting in the new hard drive) that the NBFAN1 (Northbridge Chipset fan) support system cooling fan would not turn freely (no power on) and I wondered if that could cause the computer to shut down after a few seconds?
The motherboard is a MSI MS-7125 ATX
thanks widnesian.
do you have an extra PSU sitting around? I'm wondering if it was your HD that was the initial cause or is it possible something else like the PSU isn't causing the issues. Any burn spots on the MB anywhere - top or bottom?
I built my PC this summer and it's had few problems with the actual windows os and not the BIOS. So it's been working fine until two days ago. I leave my computer on 24/7 basically unless it freezes for some reason. Well I left it on on Friday night and woke up to the windows start bar and start menu being frozen. I could click everything else. So, I shut it down with the PSU switch. I turned it back on to see that it turned right back off within seconds. I tried over and over but it just kept doing it. I can't get to the BIOS screen at all. The amount of time between shutting off seems to vary. Can someone please tell me what's wrong and what to do?
I turned on my computer this morning and too my horror it shut down after about 2 seconds.
I have tried other ram and things, no difference, the hard drive is starting because it vibrates when you lift it, all the fans are starting up fine.
I tried taking out all the wires and re-seating them, and I have noticed something - you know the yellow and black came with the 4 pins that goes into the motherdrive, when I take that out the machine stays on but theres no graphics on screen, but when I plug it back in - it just shuts down again.
Anyone know what is going on? or how to fix this?

You mean the four pin plug that powers the CPU on the Motherboard?
Try having a check on the CPU fan, it may be faulty
To test it, you could unplug the CPU Fan, and try turning on the computer (do note that this will only be a few seconds test)
Other than that, I'd say Power Supply faulty
Hi nbsp I have been trying to get my Envy back up running on and off for a few months now I'll start by saying that it is probably my own fault that it doesn't start anymore as i have been hacking away desoldering and resoldering the bios chips and cutting into the case Because of this there is also no warranty on it duh nbsp The problem When pressing the power button the power light and F -button light up and a moment later the caps lock light lights up and the computer shuts off When it shuts off i can sometimes hear a click but i haven't been able to tell where it's coming from There's no harddrive in it that could make the click sound nbsp I thought it was a no-brainer to replace the mainboard but the computer acts just the same with the new mainboard nbsp I have also replaced the keyboard dinged the flex-cable with the soldering iron nbsp I made a short video clip to show what it looks like nbsp https youtu be JuEBqqLhoSQ nbsp Since there's mostly just cables left to Shuts Envy two seconds. off after replaced. 6 MB replace Envy 6 Shuts off after two seconds.

Hi my pc was working great yesterday but today i go to turn it on it powers on all the fans all the leds light up then the cpu lights up again and the pc turns off any ideas of whats wrong? i have a amd fx9590 cpu sabertooth990fx 2.0 motherboard 2 amd r9290s. let me know what info you need to help mehttp://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/forum/helproom-1/my-pc-starts-then-shuts-after-couple-seconds-4606217/
Here's my problem. I noticed last night before going to bed that my computer was completely frozen in Windows, even CTRL/ALT/DEL would not respond. So, I just hard booted down, and went to bed.
Today, tried to power it back up, and it doesn't post. No motherboard beeps, either. Press the power button, all of the lights come on, all CPU and power supply fans turn, and then, it just shuts down.
I've cleared the CMOS via the jumpers, replaced the battery, disconnected all RAM and cards, leaving nothing but the MOBO, processor, hard drive, and video. Even tried without the hard drive. Still no POST, no beeps, just shuts off.
What's the problem?? I'm thinking its either the processor is fried, or the mobo is shot. Any surefire way to determine which it is? No, I do not have another processor or motherboard. Help!
Could be the PSU? You could try another PSU if you have one.
Also, take mobo, cpu, video card, 1 stick of ram out of case, put on non-conductive, static free surface and test - make sure nothing is shorting out on case.
Hi First off let me say that I m fairly competant with computers I ve been building my own rigs for about - years now and usually am able to problem solve my own issues Recently however I ve come up against something I can t even diagnose so I m coming to you all here seconds Shuts Down after Computer Solved: 1-3 and TechSupportGuy because you ve been very helpful in the past The Problem Yesterday while playing a game that doesn t require Solved: Computer Shuts Down after 1-3 seconds any heavy graphical or processing power my computer crashed straight power-down and this made me concerned about perhaps some issue with my cooling systems so I reinstalled SpeedFan and CoreTemp to get some solid readings off the Solved: Computer Shuts Down after 1-3 seconds similarities of both However the temps were reading around c under full load Memtest for my processor I let this run for a while to make sure of my readings Other temperatures on my mobo were around - c and my video card was running around c idle I m pretty sure that memtest doesn t utilize any graphical processing power right My next step was to test the video card under full load so I loaded up Battlefield and instantly crashed This was seriously concerning so I tried the test twice more Both times when my computer had to render anything serious it immediately crashed However on the third test the computer wouldn t restart It would start up the LED s would turn on inside the fans and on the mobo and video card and then immediately shut down It repeats this process every couple of seconds as though it were a dying animal struggling to get up my poor ol girl As I am at a point where I can no longer diagnose it myself I m coming to you all for help I have a very tight budget as a student and I need to be as sure as possible as to what the issue is before I try to replace any parts Hopefully my tests before it dying help rule out any options nbsp
Here s the story Whenever I try to start up my computer I hear seconds. Computer during startup 10 after shuts off the fan on my graphics card start to kick up quite a bit and then it slows down and kicks up again and then the computer shuts off The thing is if I pull the battery from my mobo let the CMOS default and restart the computer it works just fine Windows starts up and everything But when I click quot restart quot it just completely shuts the computer down doesn t restart and it goes back to step until I pull the battery again and it starts up just fine I originally thought it could be windows some virus or something so I decided it was the best time to try windows so I wiped my HDD s and put Windows RC on Computer shuts off during startup after 10 seconds. it Windows gets on it but NOPE same problem persists So it s not a lt bleeping gt virus then it has to be something to do with my graphics card or mobo right I decide to start my computer up without the power plugged Computer shuts off during startup after 10 seconds. into my graphics card but my computer still shuts down after seconds so the problem isn t my graphics card What the lt bleep gt is Computer shuts off during startup after 10 seconds. going on I m on it right now so i ts not like it s a powersupply problem It has something to ing do with the BIOS CMOS Anyone have a clue Or what I should do nbsp
BTW My computer is brand new and i have just put it together from all brand new parts My spec is Intel Pentium D Socket Smithfield Core x GHz MB Cache Asrock I 3-5 computer seconds starts shuts down about then for GZ i GZ S PCI-E x DDR SATA II uATX On Board VGA motherboard Gb X Mb Corsair Value Select DDR PC Pin Non-ECC Unbuffered CAS - - - w Silverpower SP- P B thermal controlled cooling fans MB Gigabyte GS PCI-E x computer starts for about 3-5 seconds then shuts down Mem MHz GPU MHz Pipes D-Sub DVI-I HDTV SLi Silent-Pipe dedicated graphics card And i have a large and a small fan that come with computer starts for about 3-5 seconds then shuts down the case the smaller one isnt plugged because its attached to the side pannel which i have removed in order to build my system And my computer starts for about - seconds then shuts down when computer starts for about 3-5 seconds then shuts down it starts the lights on the case work the fans and heatsinks work but there is no beeps when it starts and the motherboard doesnt display any lights Is it possible that my motherboard is fried which causes the system to shut down and dispaly no lights from the mobo Someone else told me that a smudged processor heatsink could cause the system not to beep And most people tell me my watt power supply isnt enough but couls that cause the system not to beep and could it cause the motherboard to display no lights And this may sound incredibly stupid ive never built a computer before is it suposed beep on startup if there are no speakers plugged in ALSO could this component have anything to do with it it is like a small black sylinder conected by red and black wire to a socket connector what does it do there are a several pin connectors on my motherboard but i dont wanna connect it to the wrong one nbsp
Its most likely that your psu isn't up to running that lot!!!!
Go here - http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculator.jsp - and see how many watts your system actually needs!!!!
The component you are on about sounds like it could be a pizzo electric speaker!! Did it come with the mobo or the case???
I m having a problem that I m clueless about Today I found my PC buts 2 starts seconds shuts after down pc frozen It was running but I couldn t do anything So I rebooted and it shut down When I turn it on all the fans and HD start up and then it powers off I slowly removed all the components one by one and tested in between with no luck Always powers down after about two seconds even if it was mobo and cpu Interesting thing though is that if I remove the PC starts buts shuts down after 2 seconds cpu the mobo is running fine it doesn t shut down But no beep or anything that would let me know that the cpu is missing Strange I have replaced the power supply for new one and more powerfull no change And I did all the tests with the mobo out of the box on a paper surface It s a AMD athlon AM on ASUS M N AM mobo I would appreciate any suggestions nbsp
Sounds to me like a motherboard or BIOS problem.

It is probably the power supply
The power supply is probably going bad. You may have over loaded it, or it might have recieved a shock of some kind (power surge maybe?), or it is just not as young as it used to be.
What ever you do DO NOT use the 230 setting on the power supply unless you live in Europe.
do you have a surge protector? if you don`t you should get one. If you do it may need to be replaced. :approve:
If it`s not that then check the processor. you may have done something when you were cleaning the heat sink.
hello guys my laptop of 4 years has been giving me problems. I start it on but there is no display on the screen and after a few seconds it shuts off.

What you are describing is a classic hsf [heatsink fan] installed incorrectly.
With the system OFF, open the case and grab hold of the heatsink part. Does it move at all? Are all four push pins tight or can you move one of them?

My friend's computer decided to stop functioning recently without warning. No new hardware was added, no new software, nothing changed about the computer much at all. He just tried to restart it one day, and it wouldn't. Unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of specs, but here's what I've done:
· Cleaned out TONS of dust
· Made sure fans are spinning
· Tried different power cords and outlets
· Swapped/added/removed RAM
· Unplugged all external devices
· Disconnected CD drive
After all those (not all at once of course), the computer still shuts down about 5 seconds after being turned on. It doesn't even make it to the BIOS screen before it just shuts off. About once in every 10 tries it will run without issue, at least until I turn it off again. Any ideas what may cause this?
Clean all dust from the computer fans make sure it is not over heating.http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Notebook-Boot-and-Lockup/HP-G62-Notebook-shuts-off-randomly-after-20-30-seconds-same/td-p/5696091

Sounds bad.

I would try and first eliminate the video card as the problem. Does the motherboard have on board graphics that you can switch to? If not, do you have a spare video card that you could swap in? If not, do you have another PC or a buddy that you could borrow a card from to swap in?

> [came] from a computer I found on the side of the street, someone had no use for it any more and set it out there. Maybe, that "someone" was having intermittent problems with the motherboard, and, being lazy, did not "responsibly recycle" it, by just tossing it to the curb, where you found it. Turn it off.Disconnect the power-cord.Disconnect the power to the CD/DVD and to the 3 disk-drives.Reconnect the power-cord.Turn it on.Does it still "burp" and restart itself?If so, turn it off, disconnect the power-cord, and remove the two sticks of RAM.Then, reconnect the power-cord, and turn it on.It should "beep" after not detecting any RAM, if it's working properly.Again, disconnect the power-cord, and insert _one_ stick of RAM, preferably from some other source,and see if changing the RAM changes the symptoms.http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Desktop-Operating-Systems-and-Recovery/Computer-starts-for-a-second-shuts-down-foe-6-to-8-seconds/td-p/5762033

This going to sound real annoying to you.
But remove the motherboard again !
Check when removing that all posts and wires (bare) are not touching eachother
If possible (better to do this) "bench test"
ie nothing connected to back of motherboard except video (onboard preferably - if pos) and power, (and ram and cpu and heatsink/fan)
Short the power pins (screwdriver will do) and hopefully it turns on.
To turn off pull the power cord (or short the power pins for 3 secs)
If that worked, do one thing added at a time
Then re-install m/b and test again.

My friend's computer decided to stop functioning recently without warning. No new hardware was added, no new software, nothing changed about the computer much at all. He just tried to restart it one day, and it wouldn't. Unfortunately, I don't have much in the way of specs, but here's what I've done:
? Cleaned out TONS of dust
? Made sure fans are spinning
? Tried different power cords and outlets
? Swapped/added/removed RAM
? Unplugged all external devices
? Disconnected CD drive
After all those (not all at once of course), the computer still shuts down about 5 seconds after being turned on. It doesn't even make it to the BIOS screen before it just shuts off. About once in every 10 tries it will run properly, but fails again after turning it off. Any ideas what may cause this?
(p.s. Sorry if this is in the wrong category, I couldn't figure out where to put it since I don't really know the problem)
I had this problem in two different pcs, only one was mine!
It was a broken heat sink bracket so the heat sink wasnt making contact with the thing underneath it.
So we have Dell Optiplex 9020's in our classrooms running Windows 10 for the first time this semester. Randomly when someone goes to turn the machine on it's acts like it's booting, but a few seconds later the machine just turns off. If you hit the power button and turn the machine off and back on it will do the same thing and shut down. If you boot into BIOS and then restart the machine from there it will come up fine. This is happening on a good many of our machines, but it's random. Sometimes it will start up just fine. Other times it will shutdown after a few seconds.http://forums.windowscentral.com/ask-question/438636-window-10-shuts-down-within-few-seconds-starting-up.html
So I've built countless computers and you always gotta have that one problem that keeps you down! I built my first I7-930 last night. I turn it on and it goes on for maybe 20 seconds or so and shuts off, reboots and then goes off. I know it could be a lot of reasons. I have a good quality antec PSU and a good Evga X58 motherboard. I had 3 sticks of ram in and then tried all 3 separate in and same problem. Now, I think it could be the cpu overheating. with the 20 seconds i had, i was able to get into bios and check the status of the computer. I noticed the temp of the cpu was 85 Celsius. that seems wayyyyyy too hot. I removed the stock thermal paste and applied arctic silver 5 which i always do. Maybe the heat sink isn't on tight enough? It's pretty snug. any ideas?

ive just checked all the capasitors in the pc as i heard this could be the problem but there are no bulging or leaking caps,so im back to pulling my hair out again.
I had set up Microsoft Train Simulator with several added on consists from Maple Leaf Tracks. Afterwards the boot up of the sim program would blank the monitor and I could not see a thing, had to hit the windows key to get back to the desktop, but then afterwards that quit too. Now on boot up between the 4 color windows thingee and the blue start up screen the monitor shuts down entirely for 5 to 10 seconds. Kinda scary all this and why is beyond me. ATI Raedon HD 3870 video card. Works fine on everything else. Dunno what the heck to do about this.
Got the problem solved. The problem was the back two DVI inputs. We had the tower out for servicing and when we put all the cables back, the monitor and TV cables to the DVI inputs were switched around. We simply switched them back and the problem was repaired.
I had a blue screen prior to this problem (three consecutive actually) that said something about a driver issue. I've striped the computer down piece by piece and tried booting it up until i got to the, CPU, Mobo, 2GB of Ram, and my 1000watt psu (Overkill I know) still I get the same dammed problem. Thank you for any help you can provide.
I took all the ram stick out AND STILL THE SAME PROBLEM! I'm not going to lie in my noobness I might have pulled a stick out earlier why the computer was on so that might of done it..... any help?
I have an HP Pavilion notebook model XH136 that now turns on for about 10 seconds then shuts off completely. No beeps, no display, nothing. The power light comes on as does the HD light but it doesn't sound like its booting up at all during its brief activity.
I removed the HD and connected it externally to my PC and I can access it using windows explorer but I have no idea if it is bootable.
Reinstalled the HD and the problem persists.
AC adapter works fine and the battery shows 100% charge using the front panel LCD controls. Still will not boot with or without the AC power supply connected. Just powers up for the 10 seconds then shuts down. Nothing is seen on the screen at all.
I do not have another 2.5 drive to check in it.
Machine has a celeron processor, 256mb ram , 10Gig HD and runs WinXP.
Any thoughts/suggestions?
Thank you!
