    Comp turns off!
    « on: February 05, 2009, 05:46:03 PM »
    All of a sudden today I moved the computer and it turned off! I had a check of everything in the computer, and everything is connected fine. I also tried disconnecting the cable to the power supply and reconnecting

    But once I turn the computer on it shuts down after a couple of seconds and keeps on trying to turn on automitically

    Specs/ Intel quad-core, mb abit 35 pro , powersupply raidmax RX/700 W
    Please help!

      thanks for the quick reply
      if its the fan on the cpu, i checked it and i think thats the problem but i wasnt sure

      its never really been fastened properly, becuase one of the 4 legs is broken/
       but would it turn off so quickly if thats the problem?

              Any recent spontaneous reboots......any beeps......how old is the PS?

                  You didn't by chance move the voltage setting switch on the back of the PS from 115V to 220V when you moved the case....I'm reaching here.....RAM might be unseated.....sniff the power supply and see if you pick up a burnt electrical odor.
