taquar Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 ive been having the problem for the last couple of days and ive tried everything i know. whenever i come home from a trip or the like and my computer has been pulled out at the wall to prevent a surge, as soon as i plug it back in my comp runs for approximately 3 seconds then switches back off again and wont start up unless i pull the power then put it in again but then it does the same thing and never turns on. but the computer is still recieving power as a small light on the motherboard still shines. ive re-racked the videocard, soundcard, networkcard, ramcards, hard-drives and everything else. i pulled my comp apart and put it back together and it still does the same thing. if anyone has had this problem id like some help please... Finally retired from RS. It's been a good 4 or 5 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(something might be shorted) if those don't work then you probabbly have either bad ram bad cpu or bad mobo.. i would try ram first then cpu... then motherboard.. (try your cpu/ram on a good computer) good luck man The following statement is true. The previous statement is false. 60% of all statistics are made up 90% of the time andrew i love you & want you to have my babys!!!
