gigabyte PC Turns ON and OFF

[Rosalio]

Hi, I am new here. So please be nice haha. 

I work in a ciber café. And I am the "Tech guy".

Well right to the point. One day the computher was working fine but suddenly it showed like gitchy image on screen and then never turn on again.

Just turns on for like half a second and then off.

Can someone help?

I check the RAM and the PSU but they seem fine.

Here are the specs:

Motherboard-GIGABYTE GA-J1800N-D2PH

Power Supply-EDGE Systems AF-B500 Slim 500watts 

RAM-4GB DDR3

They have Intel processor dual core at 2.6GHz 

We have 4 identical computers so I can swap parts.

Plase Help :c and good day

Since this is a cyber cafe I won't comment on the terrible PSU.

 

I wrote a guide to troubleshoot these kinds of problems, you can find it in my signature

Try to swap the CPU. Sounds like the iGPU messes with the picture. If not change part after part to analyze what part it is  hope it helped!

only a few things that could be wrong if it isnt ram or psu, check cpu and mobo

it could be something obscure and unexpected like the cpus igpu not working seeing as theres no graphics cards

The CPU comes integrated on the Motherboard. Is like the one on a laptop.

then youll possibly need new mobo and cpu then, if the psu and ram are broken

The PSU is bad? For what i know is the only one that can be put on the case.

If nothing else is wrong and you checked the other parts it seems that the CPU is causing the issue  for safety try to boot from another drive.

Well it's from a brand I've never heard of and it probably was really really cheap; it will do its job powering a cyber cafe computer but I wouldn't trust it with gaming hardware. I doubt it can do full 500W.

New mobo? The RAM and PSU are fine I tested them on the other PC's.

you need a new motherboard and cpu if you have tested the psu and ram

yes, if everything else is fine, you need a new motherboard

Sounds like you'll need a new one yeah.

 

It might be a problem with the display output - the VGA connection. But there's no way to test that.

Oh what about the BIOS?

Oh that's not good.

 

Probably the PSU honestly. Bad PSUs can kill computers

How?

take out a HDD or SSD with Windows, put it in the system and start it. Press F12 or F2 to boot into the BIOS then select the drive in boot priority (if the system even boots )
