  • THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS EITHER LOAD TRANSISTORS CAN

    NOT PRODUCE ENOUGH CURRENT FOR THE START UP

    DRAW TO THE CPU, TO THINGS NEED TO BE TESTED POWER

    SUPPLY WITH A LOAD ON IT AT THE SAME TIME LOOK AT THE VOLTAGES

    OR THE CPU IS DRAGGING TO MUCH CURRENT AT START UP, AND TO

    YOUR QUESTION HAVE WE SEEN THAT EXACT SYMPTOM, YES VERY COMMON.

  • Comment removed

  • if the mother board does not respond after moving the jumper to reset the cmos, most likely it is going to be a power supply..

  • @scott93257 can you explain how to reset the cmos?

  • @eedali77

    There are actually two ways to do it... The first way is to remove the CMOS battery for a period of 10 minutes and then place it back in... The BEST way however is to locate the jumper pin that is usually near the CMOS battery..It is usually labeled JBAT1 or something of that nature... Find the jumper and move it from pins 1 and 2 to 2 and 3..leave it there for 5 seconds and then back to pins 1 and 2... make sure your power supply is either off or unplugged when doing this.

  • First place to start is by replacing your CMOS battery...

  • try to pull out the power from some unnecessary parts...the cd room mabye. if that works and it starts, you need a bigger power supply. note i'm not a pc expert.. but that fixed mine pc

  • dont place it on the rug,buy an anti static mat  btw.

  • if this video was uploaded in 2008.. why you guys still leavin comments? unless he hasnt fixed it in like 3 years.From the looks of the black screen the cmos looks bad,just guessing but it were dusty and you touching it everywhere might of caused e.s.d.??

  • @2012XF3 maybe they can help other people!

  • @2012XF3 I came here in 2012 to see if any solution is made so I can learn it :)

  • i think the problem is the cpu fan is not properly on if its moving you need to put it on properly :)that wht happened to me : )

  • cpu 

  • its the cpu

  • Do anyone know how to unplug those damn floppy drive power connectors they are fucking stuck

  • for me motherboard or CPU or RAM problem...try to check if theres a beep codes..if no..check the CPU or motherboard

  • i bought a psu tester but i can't see which wire is which because im color blind :(

  • @kakka626 i know what you mean man, I have this same problem with the color coding on transistors :| I solved that problem the only way I could: By finding a temporary, not so color blind assistant lol

  • @rediconAoC Bah, I mean resistors, dammit. Color blind AND retarded ><

  • It's the motherboard, at least it was for me. Try installing the psu in another computer and u'll see it will work.

  • ok this was 08,,,did you find out what it was? curious.

  • Orange is 3.3 volt. You will want to get PSU tester.

  • right im not sure if this helps but when me and my friend installed his gtx 560 we had this issue. he had a cheap brand psu and was using a molex to pci connector. this wasn't the problem. it was a fault in the ram so we switched the ram and it booted. I build pc's and i have never encountered it before it still confuses me but thats how it happened hoped it helped

  • would like to know where are those voltmeter cables are being plugged onto???

    I have a profesional PSU tester, I do not use the entire computer to test the PSU..I plug the main molex to the tester and the reader is deigital. I can test even all electrical cords of the PSU including the good old floppy cable plug...

  • Ok so after a opened my pc and closet it, it wouldn`t turn on (no light no noise, nothing) I took out my graphics card and changed it for a new but i soon realized the new was to demanding for my PSU (psu still working at this point) so i changed back to the old one and when i pushed the power button...

    Is it my motherboard or my PSU (please tell me its my PSU.....

  • Psu problem, when I had too much fans plugged into my psu, my computer did the same exact thing, try removing some fans and see if it works then.

  • I'm sure you have this solved by now, but for others following, the cause of your symptoms are low voltage on one or more circuit. Not a dead power supply, but a tired power supply. Your yellow is for sure low. One of your 5v is marginal. Even a tiny bit low, and the four lead plug going to your mother board will cut power to the mother board. Swap out your power supply and change your battery and you'll be all set. Your yellow circuit should be reading at least 12.3.

  • have u solved ure problem?? if yes, how ??? pls reply.

  • Buy a powersupply from bestbuy, if it works return it , if it doesnt work return it. youll know for sure

  • PSU's and ODD's are the two most common fail items, always worth trying a new PSU The BIOS defaults issue normally caused by flat CMOS 3v Battery, so replace that

  • Try to get some beep from the motherboard.

    You would get similar symptom if your RAM is plugged in incorrectly or bad RAM.

    So try the RAM first.

    Next try unplugging your video card and see if you the some beep from the MB.

  • U guys are brain dead or something he said he's cmos settings are reset everytime he turns it on. IT'S THE FUCKING BATTERY

  • @helipro555 yes true its the critical battery on the mother board replace it like every 2 years XD

  • @xXOuCHGaM3RXx I have my motherboard for around 4 years and I did not ever replace my battery, and it is still working greaat :D

  • @MrGskillz ahahah thats funny as nuclear energy battery.

  • @xXOuCHGaM3RXx how tha fuck u mean?:P

  • @xXOuCHGaM3RXx How you mean ''as nuclear energy battery?''

  • @MrGskillz nuclear energy is verry powerful .. derp

  • If you want help go to facebook and search Computers (Problems,Solutions,Informatio­n)

  • i had this problem just unplugged some shit and it booted right up

    then plugged it all back in and it worked fine

  • Is a motherboard problem

  • This was in 2008.

    What was the problem?

    The uploader should have updated....

  • I had this exact same problem. New built comp. Would only turn on for a second. It turned out that i just needed to push in and wiggle the cables where they entered the psu and then it would start up fine. I must have pulled on my cables to hard during doing management

  • THATS POWER SUPPLY PROB. BUY NEW PS...

  • @hirushja007 No thanks mate lol. Made my own gaming PC now it turned out to be the HDD

  • you sure you got enough wattage to power it? or is that just a cheap motherboard?

  • Yeah seems like a dead CMOS battery, thats why it comes up with reset CMOS/BIOS settings.

  • Very likely that it is you BIOS battery u probably know how to change that if not search it on utube

  • i have a little Problem... i had two old Pc's one a little better than the other so i got all the parts i could out of the Crappy PC and Put em in the OK one to make the PC Atleast Good, two Drives 140GB Space 1GB RAM still crap but Meh

    and i put a new CPU in same as before just a new one

    And when i power my PC it turns on Ect but nothig comes on the Moniter iv tryed four Monitres all dont work ??? Help me Please :D

  • My computer sometimes started itself durung the day or night. Had the same problem as shwon in your video. I proved it with a new power supply and the problem remained. A techniciacn withouth making any kind of test told me is a Mother Board problem ¿Chat sou you think? Computer Peintium iV 2,8 mhz

  • I'm having a problem. Whenever I hit the power button on my computer, it keeps restarting itself. it gradually became worse overtime and now it won't even start. (I tried a new HDD to no avail) Please help

  • I think its already your motherboard problem...

    why? FOXCONN had this power issue which is connector to your processor

    mainboard which use foxxconn socket from gigabyte had this major issue

    dont buy a motherboard that is equipped with foxcon sockets

  • I dont know if anybody can help me My computer runs fine but sometimes it reboots itself without warning when im watching youtube it happens alot or when im watching films etc. As you can imagine its annoying as hell lol. Thanks in advance for any solutions or tips. Peace

  • i have experience problem like that on my PC,, and Ive figure out Y  my PC shuts down after i turn it on,,, {{{{ Ive install a different HARDISK }}}

  • Have you changed any components recently ? If so Update your bios.

  • Mate have you checkedinside the PSU or gone over the mobo for obvios signs of overheating? Could even be a dry joint as you say when it strats to heat up ( power on) hte jint wherever it maybe probably the PSU innards it pulls apart - no power.

    I'd be just whacking in a decent brand PSU if the doesn't cure t the mobos up the swanny. Chepap enough to find out eh?

  • is processors

  • i have the same problem. .help me. . .

  • its the mobo, is it a Gigabyte, I just had 1 replaced

  • Ive had this exact problem. I asked one of my friends and they said it WAS the motherboard. I told him that something was getting hot inside of the computer, and he said it was the southbridge. If that gets hot, the motherboard is shot. So you can easily reach inside of the computer and feel around when it has power running to it.

    I most likely guessing you will need a new motherboard. This one is shot beyond repair.

  • My motherboard used to do the first thing sometimes. I found that replacing the CMOS battery helped. I just got one out of an old machine I found lying around.

  • I have a problem. When I play some video games, after about 10 minutes the pc turns off.Is it a problem with the power supply or something else. Please Reply!

  • @jasminmemic It can be heat problems, bad overclock, too low watt on the psu, could you pm me your specs?

  • @QuickForceHD It's an AMD 64 Athlon proccesor, it has an Asus graffic card, 512 MB of RAM, i think It's a 200 watt power supply or less, because I did not open my pc the last 3 months.When I touch the pc, It thoes not fell like It's overheating, the last time when I opened my pc, I found dust in It.I've cleaned It but It still shuts off when I play any kind of video games.

  • @jasminmemic Your 200 watt or less power supply may not be good enough to power your system for a long time on full load. If you have the chance to try another more wattage power supply in your system and then try playing games, you may have you answer if it lasts more than 10 minutes. If you want more help PM me the exact graphics card and CPU clocks.

  • @ALGStudios1 Ok, thanks!

  • it happened to me the fan of the prosseser should be oiled to twist very well the when the prossessor heat up it turn off the power to main board and then the computer turn off

  • its a ghost problem keeps turning computer off, did you try calling ghost busters?

  • I think It might be your power switch dude cuz mine does the same thing so what I been doing is turning mine then unplugging the power switch then I have no problems

  • i had the same problem, its the ram is broken or to big memory size for the motherboard

  • motherboard ither bois is messed or something on the mainboard failed

  • It's the power supply,go get a 800 W and you should be fine haha

  • Its the mobo battery

  • PROCCESSOR DAMAGE LOL

  • @ayie448445 thtas not the cpu, the ram has an error or its broken!

  • SOMEONE help me. i'm getting the aerocool E80-500 Watt psu. with a motherboard which requires a 24pin power connector and an 8pin. but the psu only has a 24 pin and a 4 pin connector. HELP I DON'T WANT TO SPEND HUNDRERDS OF EURO'S ON POWER SUPPLIES

  • wow you have same Monitor as me but mine is

    LG Flatron L1918S

  • looks like the psu shorted out and turned off

  • Power supply may not be powerful enough, try disconnecting the extra lights on the front. You may need to switch to a higher wattage power supply

  • try wwwcomponentsandrepairs.co.uk

  • i got same problem on a litle PC

    i remove the battery of the mobo and now it work idk why....

  • CPU OVERHEAT Will make this happen

  • it is either a electric short or the bios values are set wrong. goz it boots , turn off and boots again. my first step would be disconnect all connectors and external hardware. , and check te motherboard spaces.. then reconnect the mobo and connectors. probably the problem was already noticed. if not. install bios rom. then set the bios to default . set the ai overclock function to auto. and all voltage settings to auto . set the dram frequency to its default ,. and try again.
  • Problem is...

    ...It's a PC.

  • @Legofan78 And a MAC isnt a PC? I LOL at you. It just doent have windows. Mactard.

  • @guikibe2 No, Apple don't like their computer to be called PC's just Mac, and I'm not a "Mactard" , I have an Acer Predator an iMac and my mac is better at everthing except gaming witch i don't really do.

  • @Legofan78

    Then hackintosh your Acer.

  • @Legofan78 Not funny.

  • Sounds like bad psu to me. Get the stuff out of the case and try it with another psu. Thinking its shorting somewhere, but through vibrations it sometimes doesnt...

  • I would replace the power supply with one known to be good. If that solves the problem, then you know your old PS is bad - in spite of what the tester may say.

  • Well that is what you get for buying a foxconn mobo!!!

  • I have an "old" computer with a mere 4 GIGS of RAM and a 500 GB hard drive and dual core processor that died in April. The operating system became corrupt. When I try to reinstall it it will reach about 2/3 of the way through then every single file will error out. I changed the hard drive with another, it does the same damn thing. My New PC has 8 GB RAM and a 1.2 TB hard drive and I7 processor, but I'd like to get these old non-obsolete PCs running again.

  • @TheIntolerantAtheist

    If using a restore disc from the manufacturer, then your disc is corrupted.

    Try using OEm disc (these sound like Vista computers) or try Ubuntu 10 for free, burn your own disc from a downloaded ISO file. If still having problems, check to see if SMART is enabled in BIOS, and your hard drive is not having errors. Pray.

  • @TheIntolerantAtheist I think si your motherboard running the system to corrupt.

  • Comment removed

  • You can try to change condensers (near CPU)... Worked at my motherboard..

    (2200uf, 6.3v at mine...)

    Hope I helped you...

  • Power supply

  • Foxconn sucks

  • not enough power(juice) to power your motherboard and it dosnet hav enough power

    buy a new power supply

    :)))

  • If the fan spins for a second.First thing i would check is the Power Supply.Easy enough all you need is a piece of wire.Google it.It the Power Supplies Good then its probably the Motherboard.Look for Leaky Capacitors or Bludged Capacitors.They Usually Go First.

  • dude power supply got no juice. get another one =]

  • did you check your psu yet , if not you should buy psu tester tool and test it

  • hello dear i have problam with my pc . power on off in in second even i remove power SW.if remove 8pin 12V plug so it will ok but CPU and CPU fan is not working just power in mother bord.if i plug in 8pin 12V so its just on off on off with in a 1SEC .

    some one can help me .

  • what is the motherboard is the memory of the computer or what is it man.

  • I hadthe same problem its your power supply.change it replace with new one

  • $100 buck its ur mobo.. try reset ur bios with jumper plug and if still dies work its ur mobo

  • by trial & error, try to remove the pci devices like the sound card, then turn it on....

  • try to check the fan connections, then your mouse and keyboard connections - color coded... if not working, try to re-insert the memory modules, power plug in the motherboard, the disk drive connections... also the jumper plug... you might had grounded the motherboard during your cleaning activity, which affect cmos/bios chip...

  • my did the same thing i unplugged my 24 pin cord plugged it in not completely just barley and it kick on fine now it may be a connection problem being plugged in to far or something try it out let me know

  • power supply or bad connection with the plug on the back

  • I know this sounds quite obvious but i had this same problem when i did my first build and funnily enough it was me stupidly forgetting that my mother board had 24 pins and i only had 20 in. you never know?

  • can u guys help me whit a thing u think??? when i turn on my comp, its starting up fine, but exactley when the picture on the screen shall plop upp, it is doing an aouto restart, then when its on agen, the mous, keyboard and the screen wont work... som1 know what the he** is going on inside my comp??? ;S iwe opened it and cleaned it from dust and sucha things, but it wont work, me and my friends (that are neards) have looked on it but no one knows whats the deal... som one know what to do??? ;S

  • Well it could be that the computer is not getting the volts it needs to boot with so what I mean is that it's the power supply

  • Had this problem once and it was remedied by taking out the dead HDD. The hard drive wasn't letting it turn on for more than a second.

  • hi there im harold from philippines, i have the same problem as yours, if you have a external video card installed remove it and put your monitor in the internal or the built in video card or check your memory, remove it and reinsert it or the last resort is to unplug your pc and remove the 3volts battery for at least 30secs so that the default values on the CMOS will be loaded

  • has this problem been fix?

  • i need help my computer is not working. if i opened its only showing the power is open but in color orange not green my cp is dell. need help.pls

  • i think its the psu or power button

  • if your mother board is ASUS i think i know what is the problem, if it is not ASUS then sorry i don't know.

  • On my computer the only thing that turns on is the power supply! i tried buying a new one and it keeps doing the same thing

  • hay there, the part at the end where you switch the power off and then turn it back on, and the fan turns a tiny bit then turns off, thats exactly what my one does every time. Have you figered out a way to fix that yet lol

  • not enough power you need a better psu

  • It could be motherboard and it could be the psu, i know ive heard on some mobo's that the power doesn't get across the motherboard and therefore it undervolts causing things like this. It can also cause hardware to misbehave so to speak. I am having a similiar problem now where if i turn on my computer with the 5870 graphics card in it will power up np's but if i reboot i get no display and the graphics card isn't powering up the fan on the graphics card just spins at max rpm.

  • i have this pc n it wont turn on with the ram in it but wen i take it out it turns on, wat does this mean, n wat can i do to fix it

  • hmm...

    remove all PCI cards and disconnect any cd or dvd drive you use...

    reset your bios....>set jumper or remove the small battery on the board and wait 5 min

    start the pc only with your hard drive

    ...check your power switch...or connect the two wire from the power switch

    when your pc don't work..your power supply is ok but your mainboard crashes

    ...sorry bad english i came from germay

  • ok so i have a acer laptop computer and i removed my battery out and plugged in the ac cord and i tried to turn it on again but it still wont turn on . please help.

  • I AGREE WITH ELDISTURBIO I REALLY THINK YOUR FAN IS OVERHEATING TRY TURNING IT OFF COMPLETLY FOR ABOUT 1 DAY AND TURN IT ON AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS

  • I think it's Motherboard problem- Turns off, and turns on automaticly

  • looks most deffo power supply

  • while my windows 95 computer had the "blue screen of death" it shut off, and now it won't start up, Someone Help me! :(

  • replace the power supply ;)

    my zister had the same problem with her pc

  • need help.... when i strt my pc is strt...but after sum times it restarts automatically and keeps on restarting again and again........and after putting power supply on it strts.... plzz help me ..........

  • Try Pull Out 4 PIN Power And Try Start!!!

  • hey i had a problem....when i strt my pc...it jst restrt 2 times and tan when i strt again it strts....plzzz help me ......

  • @thomasrks its your push buton switch. try to power-up ur pc by shorting the two power pin. when its start and did'nt restart. then its your switch.

  • Hey, i had the save thing with my dell 530 it was the front power switch

  • hey i need help, i was using my computer normally, when all of sudden the processor just turned off, i tried turning it back on but it wont, also i tried unplugging the power cord and replugging it but still no luck. when i plug in the power there is a led light that turns off and when i press the power button the light turns off. i need help. i have a HP pavilion desktop and just bought it about a year ago. this shouldn't be happening!!

  • unplug all cards n drives. accept ur main hdd. i had the same problem and it was a bad cd burner. dont ask how that affects it. idk y but it just does

  • I would say test the 12v 5v & 3.3v PSU voltages with the PSU unplugged. If all is ok then perhaps use a low dummy load like a 21W car brake light bulb to see if you can get an indication of voltage instability. If all chacks out ok I'd say that maybe you have a problem on the motherboard itself with voltage regulation.

  • its the power supply i had the same problem cus i forgot to set in the 8 pin/ 4 pin connector my comp was on in 1 sec and then turned off in 5 sec

  • make sure non of your usb ports are damaged at all. I had a pin bent on one of my usb ports and after I removed the usb mechanism from my pc it worked fine.

    -D-

  • does anyone have a compaq presario 5000. my atx 20 pinouts with 6 cables- 2 white 2 black 1 blue & 1 yellow. i tried to connect using some info from the internet but the only thing that came on was the fan. please advise me.

  • same problem as mine.try replasing a new power supply.

  • i have a problem my pc freezes when i enter games what should i do?

  • lol i have same problem and about 2 month later the computer on but.......the is blank.

    Then i try my other computer cmos.. and it didnt work......Doi have to buy a brand new cmos battery (it also a memory card to store your bios information).

  • yep fix your cpu fan that wil fix all problem,s

  • I would try this :

    1. Get a new CMOS battery

    2. Try a new PSU (since this is easier to try than a new motherboard)

    3. If that doesn't do the job, your motherboard is dead.

  • More than likely the psu is not gewtting a power ok signal or the voltage dropps when powering on and it signals a safty shut off... check your cnonnections dissconect a drive and or just replace the psu with a diff one to see if it works.. if not your mobo is dead

  • it's your mobo.. had the same problem. buy a new motherboard man..

  • Try Changing your CMOS Battery, before you rule the board dead

  • Did you ever get this sorted?

  • it's your motherboard buddy, if it dual boots like that, anyone with half a brain knows it's the motherboard. Does you PSU have a Cmos?

    Your board is dead, guarenteed

  • its the powersupply its because it is overloading so u need to upgrade to a 6oo watt or 400 this used to happen to me

  • its prop the CPU is overheating

  • i think it is the power supply.

  • EDIT ACTUALLY LET ME REWORK THAT COMMENT:

    Orange is just right. Orange connector = 3.3V

    Green is just fine aswell. Your computer turns on when 5V travels from PWR_ON to GND (green to black). This is perfect.

    Your computer is fine except for your issues :)

    For the BIOS default weirdness: You might have your jumper set to CMOS_CLEAR or something like that (Or your battery is dead. Replacement type: CR2032)

    2nd. problem: could be the CMOS jumper too, or your PSU has a bad capacitor somewhere.

  • Orange is just right. Orange connector = 3.3V

    Green is just fine aswell. Your computer turns on when 5V travels from PWR_ON to GND (green to black). This is perfect.

    Your computer is fine :)

  • hi i had the same problem wen i turned my pc on the xp sine came up then shut down how i fix it the power leeds the big block that conects to motherbord u have a green and a black wire cut them and twist them 2 gether be cause the motherbord tells the power suply 2 switch offthers only 1 green wire u carnt miss it and the black next 2 it hope this helps

  • man....just change the cooler....your processor is heating up to much and it turns off.Or change the cmos battery.Try starting the comp only with the basics components....And clean it up

  • have the same problem with my comp!!! i turn it on, and it turns off, turns on then off!!! dnt kno wat to do???need help asap

  • I have a similar problem. It can be a bitch to get my computor up and running but when I manage to get the bios to start and everything the computor runs just fine (except for some minor few crashes when the amount of watts suddenly drops crazy and I have to restart the entire thing again.) I've ordered a new powersupply thing, but I'm scared that it might be something else, Could it be the motherboard or the CPU?

  • i had the same problem when i overclocked my pc try to put the normal GHz and if ur computer doesent start then like take off the main cable witch goes to the PSU and wait about 10-20 sec and then it should go on....

  • happend with me, i cleaned my CPU cooler one day put it on power it on then it turned of i was like huh? then i realised the CPU cooler wasnt touching then it was fine.

  • Did yo try use the meeter to check the motherboard with a meter
