Hi all,
Firstly I would like to thank anyone that takes the time to look at this question
About 6 months ago we had a power failure where I lived and this f up my pc and it would continually start up and then shut down after approx 10 secs. After trying a ton of things I eventually got to the CMOS and upon taking the battery out and putting it back in it worked fine...until now!
I had not used it for a week and started it up today and all was well, I started downloading the update for steam and then the comp froze and turned itself off.
Now it is back to starting up (hear 1 beep,as usual) and then shuts down after approx 10 secs. I have opened the ah heck up and when it starts the psu, CPU, and gpu fans all start fine and I can hear the harddrive starting to whirl up before it dies and repeats the same process until I start swearing at it, resist the urge to kick it and then turn it off.
I have also tried changing the battery again with a new one but this time that has not fixed it. I have also attempted to start it without the gpu or hard drive in but the problem persists! I have taken out all the ram and attempted to boot it but it will not start with no ram (and no beeps) and when I use 1 stick I still have the same problem (
I can't smell anything unusual in the case and the motherboard looks fine. The only things I can think of is it may be the CPU or psu (pray it's the later) but want to ask if anyone else has had this problem and if so how they fixed it or if anyone may have an idea what it is, my specs are as follows (from what I know!)
Comp is 18 months old
Advent model number DT2412
CPU i7-3770 3.4ghz
16gig ram
GeForce 660 gtx
Any help would be great!
Thanks
