Title: The computer keeps turning on, then off, then on, then off, then on, ect....
Post by: putin on June 18, 2011, 12:29:53 PM
So last night I attempted to move all my hardware and move it into a different case. When I finally finished I powered on my computer and after around 3-4 seconds it turned off and repeats this proccess. I'm very upset and going to murder someone and i'm an idiot for assuming things everything and everyone.

Did you plug in all the power cords from the power supply? Usually when it does this its because of your CPU power not being plugged in.

Threats will get you no where. Don't threaten to i'm an idiot for assuming things a server just cause your PC is broken, the server has nothing to do with your computer.

This is a power supplies issue. I see this before on my work computer. Your going to have to replace it.

But before you do. Do these 2 steps

1. Move the computer to another outlet.
2. Check all the connection

If that does not work then its time for another power supplies.

If he's asking people how to fix a minor problem, doubt he can i'm an idiot for assuming things. My dad is a FAMOUSE hacker sense he was 14 years old(He's 45 now) and he can't i'm an idiot for assuming things... I think. He knows what it means. I dunno, I'll ask him. His name is Friggenbozo as far as the internet knows. Don't even think i'm an idiot for assuming things existed back then. He mostly only hacked trolls on Outlook Express in his day.

One, this is not on topic.  Two, who cares.  Three, why the fuck do I doubt you so much?

On TOPIC.  Did the new motherboard help? And did you bother dusting the WHOLE rig?

I accually used a vaccum to extract dust. I finally figured out it is my motherboard or CPU. I ordered both from Newegg so I will first replace my motherboard. If that ain't work then I will open my CPU box and use the CPU. If you don't open a shipped box you don't have to pay for return shipping and you get a full refund with no restocking fees.

 Also, if this doesn't work i'm going to get my famous hacker daddy to i'm an idiot for assuming things everyone with Outlook Express.
