| 1430892 | 2017-01-20 21:01:00 | I have a ASUS desktop computer which is 2 ½ years old. About every 2 to 6 months it won’t start up, tries too but won’t .It has been to the technician several times. It has had 2 new switches, a new mother board a CPU unit 2 power packs and still is playing up. The only way I can keep it going is by sleeping it and not turning it off. Most of the work has been done under warranty. Any suggestions on what the problem might be. I understand the programs on a computer as I taught at seniornet, but not the electrical side of the computer. | kinloch (14004) | ||

| 1430896 | 2017-01-20 22:27:00 | Another thing if the motherboard and CPU were replaced, were both identical to the old motherboard and CPU?? If they're not the same, and if noone did a clean install of windows, you may have probs |

| 1430898 | 2017-01-21 00:50:00 | Would need to understand this "tries to". How far into the startup is it getting? Without seeing it, wild guesses is all I could suggest. A problem that happens after a while like this is an under powered PSU (power pack). They degrade over time and may not be reaching the peak power needed to run your computer. I would also check your house power, huge variations in voltage can damage equipment, but your computer wouldn't be the only thing to suffer. So anything else die that you thought nothing of before? Hopefully someone can sort your problem out. |
