Well my sister called me that her desktop from gateway did not start (after pushing on the led light up and fans run but in 5-10 sec it turns off). i ask her wat she did or some thing happen and she said this
1. Her case fan(rear only 1 in case) did not work as i found out the plug was out
2. she said the computer overheated as i belive its case fan not working and 24/7 of turning her computer
3. she had taken off her cpu heatsink to take off dust and did not put new thermal paste as she put it back with the old thermal paste which should be dried and old as its about 2years old
4. she touch the cpu bottem when her hand
5. after not turning off she try to start by pushing the start like 10time
wat do you think is the problem
1. i belive its the thermal paste. the old thermal paste overheated the cpu so it did not work as i heard this in inbox as albert had mail about cleaning and not changing the thermal paste like my sis and he said problem is thermal paste
2. the cpu got killed by touching the bottem or static or over heat
3. mother bored like cpu was dead cause of the heat of no fan or static again
4. PSU (i dont belive its psu but it can be but i think if it is psu it sould not even start for that 5-10 sec)
5. other (who knows cheap set, cable problem, HDD, and so on)
