Hello all,
I need a little help. I have built 5 PC's in the last 8
years and do minor repairs for friends, so I'm not a complete novice. But
recently my son's PC would not turn on. I decided it must either be the
power supply or the motherboard. The first thing I replaced was the power
supply because it was the least expensive. Well, that did nothing. With
the new power supply in place, the PC was still completely dead. I then
purchased a new motherboard, processor and ram. After getting everything in
place, the PC turns on only briefly. I mean it literally only runs for
about 5 seconds. All the fans come on and it looks like it's about to start
up, but it turns off. I tried unplugging all the wiring and starting from
scratch, but I still only get about 5 seconds before it all goes dead. It
seems as though something is shorting out, but I don't know what? Please
help!
Kind regards,
Vanessa H
