Solve : my computer is shutting down in a few seconds...? |
|
Answer» i opened my PC and it proceeds to the operating system. i was about to open an application when it suddenly shut down. i tried once again but the problem still happened...i decided to check all the fans i have inside the CPU and all are working well. i CLEANED the memory but nothing happened. somebody adviced me to PULL out the processor and clean it. i can't remove the processor but it moved a bit. i tried several times but i really can't. so i just brought the processor back to it's place. when i tried starting the computer, it's not working anymore..i think i just got in much trouble...PLEASE HELP ME! definitely! I'm less concerned you broke something :p You say it wont turn on at all now? Did you unplug any cords and forget to plug them back in? I did that once with my Hard Drive lol! Also there is a thermal paste between the cpu and the heat sink to help transfer the heat away. When you remove the heat sink you are saposed to clean this off and "replace" it with new thermal paste. I'm not sure how big a deal it is but its not recommended. And since 90% or more computer users dont carry thermal paste on hand I think it would be not recommended to remove it. If there is a fan attatched to the heat sink you may be able to unscrew it and blow some of the dirt out.If you removed the heatsink from the motherboard you will have to remove the old thermal paste from the bottom of the heatsink with isopropyl alcohol and then reapply a small amount of thermal paste and firmly secure the heatsink to the motherboard...Remember to touch the case before you touch a component inside to avoid ESD(static). Thermal paste runs around $10 a tube..... Directions...http://www.arcticsilver.comThanks very much for your replies guys.... if that so (something i have broken) what will i do now? is there any way out here? i tried putting it back from where it was...but it's still not working... QuoteI'm less concerned you broke something :p You say it wont turn on at all now? Did you unplug any cords and forget to plug them back in? yeah, i unplugged the power cord for a while and put it back after trying pulling out the heat sink...but i wasn't able to pull it out because it was stocked, so i just put the heat sink back right away... Does you computer start now with everything plugged in correctly? Quote Does you computer start now with everything plugged in correctly? yes, all plugs and cables were back on the same place where it wasThe question I was looking for is "Does the computer turn on now?" If the computer does turn on and you can get into windows do this. Right click My Computer. Select Properties. On the Advanced tab click Settings button under Start up and Recovery. Uncheck Automaticaly restart. This will make your computer bo to blue screen instead of just restarting. Wrote down any error codes and post them back. [attachment deleted by admin]Quote If the computer does turn on and you can get into windows do this. my PC is not starting at all. everytime i turn it on, it's not working anymore. but the i can still see it's LED working from the CPU.What is the make and model? I'm kinda at a loss for this. I was hoping someone else would comment. It possible you could have damged the cpu or moved it out of place. Or it could be a coincidence and it was the last time it turned on period. At the very least the Heat sink and cpu should be removed inspected and correctly put back together as Karnac said. If you dont feel comfortable doing it yourself perhaps you should take it to a shop.i appreciate your replies...thanks so much for that... i'll do it as soon as i get time... please don't get tired of helping me with this stuff.... i'll update u... Hard to get tired of something you enjoy |
