Hi,
I looked into the threads regarding PC's turning on then off immediately but none seem to share my problem so I created a new thread.
After installing an aftermarket cooler (CoolerMaster Hyper 212X) , turning on the PC would at first start all fans, then would stop immediately in less than a second. This would happen several times before booting up successfully. Some other details below:
- this also only happens when the PC has been turned off for a while. Immediately restarting or turning off the PC after successful startup (and even flicking the switch in the PSU to off position), and waiting for just a few minutes and starting up again would allow the PC to startup normally.
- the cooler's fan is spinning once power button is first turned on, and is plugged correctly in the CPU fan header
- I tried re-inserting the stock cooler's fan into the CPU fan header and encountered the same issue.
- upon startup , CPU temps on average are at around 30+ degrees C only. GPU temp is at 30C
- PSU has been replaced with 700W and problem still persisted
I had a few assumptions given the above details. Kindly indicate if I should not rule out any of the below causes:
1) I ruled out possibility of a short since I can boot up normally after a while and even restarting the PC immediately does not encounter startup problems.
2) I ruled out overheating problems since upon successful startup temps are ok.
3) PSU was replaced so I was able to rule out PSU problems
My rig is:
MSI P55-GD55
Intel i5-760
CoolerMaster Hyper 212X
Sapphire Radeon 7870 OC ed.
Cougar CMX 700W (v2)
Geil 4GB RAM 1333
Could anyone help on any other things I could do to resolve the startup issue encountered when PC has been off for a while?
Thanks very much in advance.
