pc starts for 1 second then stops

CaseyR · Jan 7, 2014

ok this is my first pc build the pc starts for one second then stops liek the fans and everything starts then stop psu works tested in old pc mobo and cpu is brand new

Reset CMOS, worth a try.

Unplug everything but PSU, CPU and heatsink, 1 Stick of RAM and video card. Then reboot. See if it goes to post.

Perhaps you had a loose connection when you first hooked everything thing up to the PSU. Since you removed it already to test in a different setup I suggest reassembling and trying again. If that does not work make sure you are hooked up to the correct video output for your monitor. Lastly a spec list and a more in depth description, as in when you power on do you see a display? Do all fans and drives light up and then it shuts off or do you never get video or anything and the fans just start spinning?

the fans spin then stop nothing is on its like dead

Do as crookedmouth said then see if it posts. If it does double check your temps in the bios. If they are good plug in one device at a time (with the power off each time) until it stops working. If it still wont boot make sure your cpu and ram are seated properly, and closely inspect your motherboard for any sgns of a short. Also recheck your wiring to make sure all cables are connected to the proper pins.

i double checked everything and i did forgot to mention i didnt have the ddr3 ram in when i tired it i just wanted to see if it would start up with the beep codes since i still need to order my ram this friday so idk if thats why it starts for 1 second and turns off or what but ima get my ram sometime next week and let you all know what happens

crookedmouth · Jan 8, 2014

That sounds like a good idea. Your internal pc speaker is attached to the mobo,right?

CaseyR · Jan 17, 2014

ok i put in the ddr3 ram and still same problem

What are the complete system specs? This checklist was created for this type of problem. Perform all the steps in the checklist and let us know how it goes.

CaseyR · Jan 17, 2014

ok pc stays on now but no display one step further but another problem at least im making progress

CaseyR · Jan 17, 2014

and yes i went through the steps already twice

shortstuff_mt · Jan 18, 2014

What are the complete system specs? What video out are you using?

CaseyR · Jan 18, 2014

this is my mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130662

im useing a 600w psu

that is my cpu http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=8114540&SRCCODE=LINKSHARE&cm_mmc_o=-ddCjC1bELltzywCjC-d2CjCdwwp&utm_source=Linkshare&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=8BacdVP0GFs&AffiliateID=8BacdVP0GFs-FWHDf8oYZboMMSW0lDH8GQ

and im useing a gt220 graphic card i tried to hook up the vga to it but no display and i tried to hook up the vga to the on board mobo and no display

gity69 · Jan 18, 2014

try hooking up to your other video port system is probably defaulting to the apu video output

crookedmouth · Jan 18, 2014

Also remove the 220 gt and make sure that onboard video is enabled in BIOS.

CaseyR · Jan 18, 2014

i tried to hook it up to the mobo and nothing

gity69 · Jan 19, 2014

did you remove the video card and enable on board graphics in bios

CaseyR · Jan 19, 2014

i cant get to the bios..... no display at all thats the whole problem now

crookedmouth · Jan 19, 2014

Also, just to clarify.

There are absolutely no beeps when you boot?

You have a PC speaker hooked up?

Edit: You have reset BIOS after your PC has stopped shutting down after 1 second.

CaseyR · Jan 19, 2014

i took the ram out to see if that was the problem and it gave me a beep code for ram put the ddr3 stick back in and no beeps and no display still

crookedmouth · Jan 19, 2014

And you have removed the battery and replaced it to reset cmos?

CaseyR · Jan 19, 2014

i did when the first problem happen when i only stayed on for like 1 second but that was because i didnt have the standoff screws in

crookedmouth · Jan 19, 2014

Use the Jumper method again.

Honestly I'm running out of ideas. It is coming down to the video cable or your monitor.

This is a long shot. Perhaps try to update the BIOS to a newer version using a USB stick and going blind. Get the update on a USB stick, unplug your hard drive and dvd-rom. Then boot up and hope that USB is one of the boot devices. You would have to blindly type the commands from the SOP.

Probably a little crazy.

CaseyR · Jan 19, 2014
