 This video is going to include ember over there playing tuxkart. Hi ember Okay, so I just wanted to post this video just case anyone comes across the same problem or a similar problem that I'm having right now Or was having I just solved it. So I'm working on someone's computer here and It keeps powering down like that now Occasionally I was able to get to boot into Linux or Into Windows 7 which is on the system and once you got it up and running it was running fine You could run it forever without any problems, but then you restart it and it keeps turning off like this could try hitting f2 or f12 to get into the bios settings or to get to a boot menu and Still the same problem. So it I didn't think it was the hard drive or the ram hi ember That was causing the problem since It seemed to be crashing before that stuff. Hi again ember and So but I still figured I try Removing those things. So yeah ember got the screwdriver and we flipped over the computer So I removed the hard drive same problem I removed each stick of ram one at a time then try moving both and I even popped out the CMOS battery to see if that would reset stuff still having the same problem. I went into the bios and I Again that took me a while to do because it would reset before I could even get into that And I was still having the same problem. I was ready to give up I figured it was some internal electrical thing I also actually the very first things I tried was unplugging the power cable seeing if that was shorting it out I also tried removing the battery and only having the power cable still the same problem So I was ready to give up if I sat here and thought okay, so this is this is obviously happening while bios is happening I Reset all the defaults went and changed some stuff still same problem. What does BIOS do it loads up all your drives? And I tested the hard drive and oh wait, there's another drive that I wasn't accounting for So one screw and a little pull I got the CD-ROM drive out and Once I do that low and behold The computer continues to boot no problem, so it was the CD-ROM drive Shorting out the computer. There was no disc in there It wasn't even getting to the point where I was trying to boot from it It was just checking it and I have to pull After pulling it out I've rebooted a number of times besides the fact that Windows 7 seems to take three or four minutes Or maybe even a little bit more just to boot which I don't think is uncommon The computers booting just fine So yeah, so I just wanted to point that out. I was completely overlooking the CD-ROM drive because Barely ever really used these anymore So just wasn't on my my thought Process when I was troubleshooting this but it was obviously what was causing the problem And now their computer is working just fine besides the fact that it has Windows installed so I hope you found this video useful, maybe you came across a similar problem and This might if you are having the same problem or similar problem might spark your thoughts Thank you for watching visit filmsbychrist.com.
