I moved to Cali from Boston a few months ago, in the process, I left my PC at home. Shortly after my move, my brother packed it up neatly and left it as is until recently. I got a new apartment and had them ship the tower and monitor here. It was packaged incredibly well, professionally, cost them close to $400.

I set up everything, turn on the computer, beeps, loads up, then shuts off. Do it again, same thing. It keeps coming to the Win7 sign in screen then shuts down.

The case light isn't on; the power supply is turned on, everything is plugged into place.

Is this common if the PC hasn't been turned on for a few months? Could it be a PSU issue? I am assuming because the beep goes off, everything internally is working correct, otherwise it wouldn't load. Or perhaps I am wrong and it is something else entirely? I don't want to buy any new components without identifying the issue first.

Here is the PSU:

Nothing. Opened case and now mobo light is yellow, the fan seems misplaced on it. Could that be enough to prevent it from working?

The heat sink and fan were dislodged from the processor. Is that enough to cause this?

0.o tha's not good, was the bracket holding it broken or are you able to reseat it? if so, yes it can cause it to overheat rapidly and shut itself off. and clearing the cmos might help (the cmos button beside the reset). If that doesnt work then you start trouble shooting the psu, mobo, cpu, you know the deal lol.

Yeah the bracket is gone :(  I think the processor is just gone because it pulled it down with it. I'm going to try replacing it and see if it doesn't anything.
