| 595566 | 2007-09-27 04:49:00 | Have older P4. Wouldn't switch on. The plug on the motherboard to the power button was off so I reconnected that. Now when I push the power button, the fans on the CPU and in the PSU spin briefly and switch off again. Any comments? |

| 595568 | 2007-09-27 04:59:00 | make sure the cpu fan is plugged into the right place, the system won't boot if it doesn't detect a cpu fan. In some cases it also requires a case fan. Also was this a working pc and the cable fell off or are you rebuilding some old parts? |

| 595570 | 2007-09-27 05:34:00 | I had the same problem with a p4 all I did you checked to power supply with a multimeter (if you need more info on this just ask) but the power supply was fine. So I took off the cpu fan cleaned off the heat transfer compond with Isopropyl alcohol and a Q tip and reaplied some more heat transfer compond and it has been fine ever since. | djmrman (12866) | ||
