suddenly pc shut off and is not starting on

[hasan_1223]

today i was playing CS. suddenly pc shut off. It was like as if someone just pull the power plug on my machine. then i again pressed the power on button but nothing happens. after that i opened up the cpu casing to check that if the PSU is working or not. the psu works fine as i can see the green led light in the motherboard when i plug on the power. but i noticed that when i press the power on button from cpu, both the casing fan and the processor fan works for 1sec then it stops working. i am not getting anything of this hint.

Make sure the power supply actually works, not just standby but also whether it turns on or not, just unplug all the power cables, connect AC power and short out the Green and any black pins of the power supply 24 pin cable.

If it turns on, then look for if there is any sign of damage, if not check the RAM, your motherboard might be gone btw.

First thing I'd try is to reset the CMOS of your motherboard. Remove all cables from the back of your PC, including power cable and monitor. Then remove the tiny battery from your motherboard. Then let it sit for at least 20 minutes just to be sure. You can also try finding and using the CLRTC jumper if you have your motherboard's maunal. Then plug everything back in and see if it starts.

yeah tried your method. nothing changed. maybe there is something wrong either in my psu or motherboard.


i will be borrowing a psu from my friend to check if the motherboard is dead or alive

Probably Mobo dead, You can check PSU by Connecting GREEN wire with the adjacent BLACK wire.

For gods sake, upgrade your pc a little bit.

You should get G41 chipset ddr3/ddr3 motherboards with pcie x16 (1.1).

better would be upgrade to new system.
