Computer shuts off in a half second

Rev2k7 · 08-14-2007, 09:47 PM

Well my problem is my pc shuts off in a milla second.

First i thought was my cpu fan so i bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835186134
It still didn't fix it but i hit the power button on my power strip/backup and it went up

around 2 am i had problems with my video card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814153035
then my pc went down its been down since then if i hold power button for some time it goes back on in a second and goes off a second also.
I got a new Power Supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817152026
just got it today , but it still wont go on. So where do i go from there?

ive looked at my motherboard alot , http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813153056

ill be uploading pictures also for visuals.

Hello and welcome to the TSF. Try runing the mobo out of the case, follow the directions from Linderman here: How to Bench Test Your System
Its possible you have a standoff out of place or a grounding issue which this procedure will isolate

Is the cpu fan installed correctly? Did you use artic 5?

Rev2k7 · 08-15-2007, 10:21 AM

well now i got it on but when i put my vga in it wont go on.do you think it could be my mobo pci-e bus ?

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 08-15-2007, 10:34 AM

No i think that it is your power supply the video card is the thing that normaly takes the most power in the pc, what power supply do you have?

Rev2k7 · 08-15-2007, 11:15 AM

but i just got a new one ? 630 watts even more then old one.

**1 g0t 0wn3d** · 08-15-2007, 11:24 AM

hmmm make sure the pci e power plug is in all the way, if possable try another connector.

Did you take the CPU heatsink off and then put it back? Make sure the heatsink isn't loose.

The problem with the cpu and heatsing is that the 4 pins are broke most of them and its hard to get out/in But why would my pc stayo n with

my ram and cpu but when i put my vga in it goes off in a second.

**Deleted090308** · 08-15-2007, 11:49 AM

So - without the VGA the computer stays on? For how long?
What pins are broken? Could you take a picture?
What motherboard do you have?

**Deleted090308** · 08-15-2007, 11:52 PM

Is this a new build? If so - has it ever worked?
I'm still wondering what pins are broken.

Rev2k7 · 08-16-2007, 02:32 AM

yes its worked since 2/22/07

**Deleted090308** · 08-16-2007, 02:39 AM

Have you tried the video card in different slots? Do you have another card you can try?

yes i just actually tried it in another slot.

**Deleted090308** · 08-16-2007, 02:51 AM

Try another power connector to the video card.
Try another card - maybe you can borrow one.
We need the complete system specifications.

Rev2k7 · 08-16-2007, 02:54 AM

3.4 ghz pentium 4 650 prescott
2gb ram
512mb video card gdr3
500gb hard drive
80 gb hard drive
630 w powersupply
dvd/cd burner

thats bout it.

Rev2k7 · 08-16-2007, 02:55 AM

oh and when i tested the card i did't put the power conector with the vga , it was in the pce-slot but no power to it and wont work.

double post acident lol

but also the fan of the video card is very dusty , could that be a factor.

**Deleted090308** · 08-16-2007, 03:00 AM

What video card is it? Doesn't it need an extra power connection?
The ones you linked to haven't got 512 MB.
