computer shut off as soon as its turned on

James Fetz · May 13, 2013

i have a older shuttlex mini computer, i go to bed with it on, wake up its off. i try to turn it on, but it shuts itself off instantly. is it the power supply? it caint even boot into safe mode. it goes off as soon as i turn it on in about 1/2 second.

There's a test for power supplies: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FWXgQSokF4
Connect a fan to a molex and see if it does constantly spinning.

well, i tested as shown on youtube. power supply is ok. what would be the next thing to check? i saw where it could be the capicators on the motherboard.

Another thing would be replacing the CMOS battery with a new one, if the system is old.
