Hope you guys can help. I have a Athlon 1700 but that’s not the problem. When I push the start button, internal fans will make 1 or 2 turns, then nothing. In half a second, the whole computer will start and stop. Thinking it’s the power supply, it was replaces by a NEW higher WATTAGE one. Still does the same thing. Would you guys have any other idea of what my problem could be? Thanks for your time.

When you replaced it with the higher wattage one, did you first check to make sure that your computer can handle a power supply that large? You might have too many watts RUNNING through there... How much did the old supply have, and how much does the new one have?

[glb]Flame[/glb]I went from a 225 to a 250. I have 2 cd players, 2 hard drives and 3 small fans. I'm wondering if the push button switch would be bad. The little light on the mother board is on. It's just a quick flash everything is on then off.Did you check first to make sure that your system is compatible with a 250 watt power supply?

[glb]Flame[/glb]I'm looking for the manuels on line with no luck. It's a Azza 366A-AV mother board. I already replaced the switch and it still does the same thing.boogie....when you say ...."When I push the start button, internal fans will make 1 or 2 turns, then nothing. In half a second, the whole computer will start and stop. "   Do you mean it completely boots up and then shuts down?
And , which fans are you refering to .......the CPU cooling fan and the PSU cooling fan ?

LET us know

dl65  The computer will not power up at all. The 3 cooling fans and the power supply fan will make a few turns then nothing. The power supply is good. It's been tested with another computer. Boots fine. I replaced the switch, still nothing. boogie.....Ok ......lets back up a bit ........Has this pc been working ok .......previous to the current problem ? or was it doing odd things before that possibly you ignored ?
Had you added any hardware or were you inside cleaning or anything like that ?

How old is the pc ?

dl65  It's been working fine. Got up in the moring, tried to turn it on and it didn't work. The last thing I added was a dvd writer, that was 5 months ago. Working one day not the next. I did open it at work today and blew out dust. Could the processor or mother board go out and couse this problem?boogie.....Yes either could cause that problem .......did you remove the CPU , when you were cleaning it out or possibly disturb something on the MOBO .


dl65  It already had the problem when I opened it and cleaned it. Looks like I'm upgrading. Thanks for all of yall's help.
