Hi, I'm lost as to what to do about this problem and I need help! My desktop just froze last nite while playing a game, nothing was working when it froze, so I tried to restart but that didn't work so I powered it off by the psu switch. I attempted to boot it back up but the pc will start for roughly 1-2 seconds then shut off completely. The pc will turn on and turn off over and over until I pull the power.
What I did:
I went to look inside the case and see what was going on and noticed that when I powered the system on everything seemed to be working: the fans turned on, psu fan worked, gpu worked, but the CPU fan was not turning(tuniq tower). I didn't really know what to do so I switched its connecter on the mobo from the CPU_FAN header to the SYS_FAN header. I'm not sure what this did but it got the tuniq's fan to move.
Other notes: Sometimes after one bad start(pc starts then shuts down) the whole system will seem to run fine: it won't turn off and keep going with all fans active but the keyboard won't turn on(lights wont work on keyboard, only the F keys button will turn on) and there will be no activity on the monitor.
PC specs:
Gigabyte p-35 ds3r
Intel e6750 @ 3.2ghz
Tuniq tower cpu fan
2gb Crucial Ballistix pc2 6400
Corsair 520HX PSU
Evga 8800GTS KO 320MB
Seagate Barracuda 320GB
I am at a loss as to what to do and I can't afford to go to a repair shop and pay $200+ to fix what ever is wrong with the pc. Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you.
