| 737832 | 2009-01-12 10:26:00 | Every time I start my computer it switchs off all of a sudden after 30seconds - I've tested power surpply worked in different computer - Swapped Ram from another comp still switchs off - Cpu fan is on and I though it might be from overheating but i tryed it in air con 20 degrees All this started after i taken my power surrply out coolmaster 460watt to into another computor cause his power surpply (His power surpply and motherboard have died since no power was gonig into his mother board but u could get fans that weren't getting power from motherboard . Back onto my problem) Since my case and motherboard are smal I couldn't get 4 pin in the tight space so I had take cpu fan out in which had some dust so I cleaned it and once I put all this back in it starts and after 20-30seconds it just dies :( Has any one else had this problem or havesolution -Adrian |

| 737833 | 2009-01-12 10:29:00 | Sounds like the processor is overheating. Remove heatsink, clean and reapply thermal paste correctly and refit. | gcarmich (10068) | ||
| 737834 | 2009-01-12 10:31:00 | I did clean it also where you thermal paste from? | sicmanadrian (14513) | ||
| 737835 | 2009-01-12 10:32:00 | Clean the surface of the processor and the botton of the heatsink. Any good computer store will have thermal paste. |

| 737836 | 2009-01-12 10:33:00 | ok its night here but tomorrow il try my best to get but it already has some . Also how would it over heat just in 30 seconds after 1 night of air con??? | sicmanadrian (14513) | ||
| 737837 | 2009-01-12 10:37:00 | You aircon isn't doing much for the processor if the heatsink isn't working correctly and if your thermal paste is not working correctly then your heatsink is useless. | gcarmich (10068) | ||
| 737838 | 2009-01-12 10:40:00 | Hmmmm ok But I don't think its over heating. Will see tomorrow I'll try ad get some | sicmanadrian (14513) | ||
| 737839 | 2009-01-12 12:19:00 | Does it actually start up normally? Do you get POST etc? or does it just do nothing and then turn off? I had a problem like this after I upgraded the BIOS on an Asus board for a friend. It turned on and then turned itself off soon after. All I needed to do was to reset the BIOS with the jumper (you can also take the battery out for a couple of minutes) and that fixed the problem. Have you tried that? Did you also say you didn't plug the 4-Pin AUX power connector in? That could be why, make sure that is plugged in or you will get problems. |

| 737840 | 2009-01-12 12:53:00 | Errrr I don't know name of it but its seperate one :P and it starts like normaly but just dies after 20-30 seconds and back to four pin I had done that awhile ago and when I put it in right (caused by tight cables) it started up fine.. Edit: Another person has told me it could be the ram voltage but I think it would be since it was working fine until I had taken stuff out.. |
