    computer turns off after 5 secs monitor not responding
    « on: April 13, 2010, 05:41:52 PM »
    Hello, can some one please help me , when i press the power on button it just lights up with no hdd thinking turns it self off after 5 seconds , now i am thinking it is the power suply because the fan is not spinning but every thing like the video card fan and cpu fan are spinning so i was also thinking that its over heating because of the thermal goo could be dried up ? ? my specs are gigabyte mobo 1.5Gb Ram 1Gb Gigabyte Graphics card and a standard 3.2 Mhz cpu nothing fancy but was working fine till i pulled the power out of the PSU one night to switch it off after it froze . . any advice would be much appreciated via here or e-mail [email protected]

      ...now i am thinking it is the power suply because the fan is not spinning...
      Power supply fan not spinning?  If it's clogged with dust, it'll overheat quickly and shut down.  I assume you don't have a spare psu?
