| 1304247 | 2012-09-30 23:32:00 | After a power out the computer won't boot - powers on then powers off seconds later, then cycles through on/off Things I've done so far: - replaced the power supply: no change - pulled the ram: powered on & stayed on - no beeping - replaced the ram: no change - cycled through power on/off suggestions please. |

| 1304248 | 2012-09-30 23:53:00 | Unplug the HDD, see if it goes any further. pulled the ram: powered on & stayed on - no beeping Does It actually have a speaker ? Could also be a board Failure. |

| 1304250 | 2012-10-01 00:00:00 | Any other non-essential parts you can remove? DVD, Floppy, Keyboard etc | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1304251 | 2012-10-01 00:22:00 | removed all non essential parts - no change still cycles through power up | NZHawk (4093) | ||
| 1304252 | 2012-10-01 00:29:00 | In a case like yours, I'd remove all the components and test them on a known good Motherboard,if they all work OK, then that really only leaves the board. One thing you can try, disconnect the Front panel plugs, then short the power pins on the board with a screw Driver, see if it goes any different. Had a few that the reset switch was faulty and it continually went into reboots. |

| 1304253 | 2012-10-01 00:30:00 | Sounds like a faulty Motherboard... IMHO | radium (8645) | ||
| 1304254 | 2012-10-01 01:04:00 | Have you tried resetting the BIOS? | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1304255 | 2012-10-01 01:15:00 | Also power off completely, unplug from the wall and wait a while, then try rebooting. Sometimes they get tied in knots and that works, if it doesn't work try again and take the CMOS battery out as well. The PC is never entirely off when plugged in. | dugimodo (138) | ||
| 1304256 | 2012-10-01 01:21:00 | it seems like the reset switch was stuck, anyway it is booting now but the hdd sounds bad, so I'm going to pull that & run some diagnostics. |
