 |
|
| Computer was behiving strange this morning... It randomly reset itself and about an hour later froze on me. I turned it off. And when i went to turn it back on... nothing... Left it for the rest of the day and now it still won't turn on, unplugged the power cord, plugged back in, and it turns on for 3 seconds, then off. Try again, nothing. Wriggle the cord, nothing. Unplug the cord and plugg in again, nothing. Just nothing now. She's dead as! Very queer! |

| take the atx power conn off the mobo and plug it back in, then it shud work fine, its a little electricity triggered safeguard, can only be reset by removin the power to the board completly |

I disagree.
It is most certainly hammer time.

| try reseating the ATX connector on the mobo first. It may be then time to try unplugging things to see what is causing it. and to check PSU rail voltages with a multimeter. Also i once had a similar problem caused by a loose IDE connector. true story.... |

You could remove the RAM and replace it as sometimes its works for me,
otherwise make sure that all the power and spagetti cables are connected
The best process to remove and replace everything one at a time. |
