JAS21 Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) It has an ssd. Last night it worked ok. Now when I push the start button there is a slight noise and the fan starts and then stops immediately ...this is repeated every few seconds. Ideas please before I take it to IT Square Edited August 29, 2018 by JAS21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johng Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) ohh ok makes sense now.. PC not starting ..does it beep ? Check the RAM is seated properly..an old trick is to take the RAM sticks out then use a pencil eraser to clean the gold contacts before reinserting. (be very careful not to knock the very small surface mounted components near the gold fingers off ) Edited August 29, 2018 by johng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robblok Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Yes important does it make beeps.. if so get your mainboards manual and look what the beeps mean. It could also of course mean your power is failing (on the computer) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 'wiggled' the cable to the ssd ..now the fan runs ok ...no bleep and no signal to the screen ... I hook the memory out and back ...I have two hard drives in this as well as the ssd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) Where are you? If it's not far I will come and fix it myself for free. Edited August 29, 2018 by pr9spk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAS21 Posted August 29, 2018 Author Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) I live a few hundred meters down from the junction of Chaengwattana and Prachachuen road ... you are welcome anytime. I have now got it working ...no idea what I did (Crossy knows how useless I am with computers)... just unplugged a few connections and plugged them back in ... then tried it and got the one bleep on starting...success I think ....I do need to get a new wifi card and on legs keeps falling off. I don't keep beer there is a shop near ....? My other PC is broken ..... Edited August 29, 2018 by JAS21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OneMoreFarang Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 (edited) It could be a cable which blocks the CPU fan. If the computer detects something like that it will shut down. If all would be ok with the hardware the PC would not switch off by itself. Edited August 29, 2018 by OneMoreFarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveK Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 It's not the CPU fan. If the CPU fan is not spinning it will take several seconds for the CPU to heat up enough to reach the thermal limit. In that time it will print "CPU FAN ERROR" prior to posting. I'm more than willing to come and rebuild your PC for free next time I have to hit the big mango. If I break something, you can have my wife (555). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robblok Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Jazz also willing to rebuild your PC but on the condition you bring it here (near Central westgate) That is not real far away from you. I got some stuff here that might help you and I like building PC's at home where my stuff and PC's are just in case i need something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
