Dear CH Users
Im having issues with my PC , first i will explain what the issue is and then what i have tried :
Issue
PC turns on , fans spin up - 10 seconds later - power cuts out
OR
PC turns on , fans spin up - pc stays on but no POST beep and no display
What ive tried to resolve the issue
+ Ran Memtest86+ on my RAM - no issues
+ Ran Seagate Seatools on my HDD - no issues
+ Tested PSU with multimeter - all voltages fine - no issues
+ Swapped over graphics card with an old one to test GPU - other GPU just causes a long continuous beep
+ Tried running the PC in barebones ( just PSU + HDD + MOBO + 1 STICK OF 2GB DDR2 ) and still doesnt work
+ Checked the motherboard for bloated/broken capacitors - all fine
Im really stuck with what else to try apart from take it to a PC repair shop as i dont have any spare parts to test it with but this PC is almost 5 years old (prebuilt acer) and even though it does work for most the stuff i currently do , i dont feel like putting alot of money down on it to repair it due to it becoming "out-of-date" for the want of a better word
Any help is greatly appreciated
Kind Regards
MPIB

I think that happened to me once, the GPU was overheating due to a fan malfuction. Could also be the CPU fan.
