I just moved and I think some part of my pc got damaged in the move the symptoms are as follows and I just wanted to get 2nd opinions of which part of my pc has failed so I know where to start looking when I attempt to repair it.
-I push the power button and the pc comes on for like a second and then just shuts off...sometimes it posts sometimes it doesn't.
Sometimes it makes it to the loading windows screen (the little bar going across) and then shuts off (it has only made it past this point one time in maybe 30-50 attempts since the problem started and on that attempt it did stay on until I turned it off but no matter what I tried I could not get the sound working). Lately it seems to be posting less often maybe only 1 in 15 attempts (down from maybe 1 in 5 when the problem first started) before it shuts off with-in a second of pushing the power button.
-lights and fans all come on when I press power
-I was thinking the power supply was failing but its only about 1 year old (the rest of my pc is about 3years old) and is a reliable pc power and cooling power supply (not that the brand matters but I dunno). But it seems to shut off at the same 3-4 points in booting up every time which makes me question this. Another thing that makes me question this is that if I am able to enter the BIOS setup menu my PC will stay on all day. I got it to this point one night and left it on all night and all day when I was at work the next day and it stayed on the whole time.
Kinda now thinking its maybe my motherboard got damaged in the move for the following reasons
-sound didn't work on my only successful log on attempt and the soundcard is attached to the motherboard-power supply shouldn't effect this.
-the pc stays on indefinitely if I'm able to enter the BIOS setup menu but at soon as I push f10 to save and exit it shuts off (shuts off right after every time)
-the pc seems to shut off at 3-4distint points in booting
1-right away (doesn't post)
2-after the bios logo comes up (very first screen when booting)
3-at the windows loading screen-bar going across (rarely makes it to this point)
4-right after the "press a button now to boot from a CD" and I push a button to do so (if I try to boot from my windows disk)
Am I thinking along the right lines here any input or 2nd opinions would be greatly appreciated and thanks a ton in advance.
