To whom it may concern:
Hello, my PC was working this afternoon just fine. When pwr is applied it runs just long enough to get the fans turning then shuts off immediately (less than a second) I reviewed some threads to no avail. I tried disconnecting and then reconnecting everything. The only way my pc powers on at all is when the ATX 12v (4-pin) and HHD pwr is disconnected. I am aware that the POST will not start without ATX 12v. When ATX is connected and HHD pwr is not is runs for about 1 second longer. I tried rearranging my RAM and clearing CMOS. I just bought the darn thing about a month ago because I did not have the time to build one myself (school and job hunt). I restarted my PC because for the first time I decided to play a game and the screen got all jumbled and kicked me off. After the issue I was planning on uninstalling the game after the restart. When restarting it made it thru POST then got to the start up screen. After Windows logo finished it shut off. And it left me where I am now. It is kinda messed up how my 5 year old HP laptop w/ an upgraded OS (windows 7) runs better than my new PC which was running like a champ until today.
Windows 7 64-bit Home
Mobo ASUS M4N68T-m V2
AMD Athlon II x2 260 3.2Ghz
AMD Radeon HD 6450 (1 GB)
500W pwr supply
1Tb sata HDD Hitachi
2x2Gb RAM Kingston DDR3 1333
3x case fans
Stock CPU heatsink and fan
I will be home all night and I will be keeping an eye on the forum so I can post quick replies and thanks.
Thank You (the first of many),
Jeff
P.S. I hope I did not annoy anyone if I posted in the wrong section.
