| 1443955 | 2017-12-22 16:34:00 | My computer I replaced the fan, replace the power supply disconnected all ram and connections to hard drive cd player and so forth.. my computer turns on everything sounds good and then at windows shuts down.. sometimes it will go to the recovery part and I go to the last point of recovery and as its starting the computer powers off.. I don't know what to do. I'm pretty good with computers and tech savvy.. my friend said to replace the battery on the motherboard.... I dunno if that something that would help. It's never been changed though and the computer is 10 years old. Anyone with suggestions please. I'm a photographer and every day without my computer I lose money. :/ | SkittlezCrack (17591) | ||

Can you provide OS and computer specs, make, model, etc. Your issue is similar to another person in the PC help part of the forum. If more issues like this appear, it may not be coincidence. Anyways, disconnecting all RAM won't do you any good, its needed for a successful POST. Without your hard drive, you won't have Windows boot but it should finish the POST start up. First question: did you add anything recently before the issue happened, a new device or updated drivers or software? Hows the dust levels inside the PC? Summer brings a lot of overheating issues normally, ensure fans and heat sinks aren't clogged and PC is in a well ventilated area. I haven't used Windows in years, but normally if it kept rebooting it could be an automatic reboot due to a BSOD. You could turn that off and would then have something to go on if it was a BSOD. Overheating could cause this, but normally it's random and does not follow a pattern, so if its always rebooting at the same spot, its either quite intensive there or not an overheating issue. I would normally redo the thermal paste on a CPU and add extra heatsinks to other chips on the board. If you are this reliant on your PC, you really need some form of contingency plan where you can still get things done. Like I can get what I need from any internet enabled device without relying on my own computers. 10 year old computer is possibly due for replacement. |
