Start up fail

[Benjals]

Hey guys,

So the other night I was using my computer and I locked it as I usually do and went off to do something else in the house, when I camr back to my computer it was off (i have all power settings disabled, so it didn't hibernate or anything)

When i attempt to power it up it starts spinning the fans for around a second and then stops. This will continue until i remove power to the system.

My computer was working fine when i left it so I'm fairly confused.

My specs are on my profile so i cant check them right now.

Here is what I've tried:

Removed everything to bare minimum

(1 of the 2 sticks of ram, cpu and fan, and power)

It began to boot but then nothing comes through on the display.

When i put the extra stick of ram in it continues the 1 second power ups.

Any ideas on fixing?

Thanks.

It seems like a PSU problem. If you have some 3 pin to molex adapters you might try isolating the psu and connecting the fans directly to see what happens.

It is an itx board, so i already have a fan connected to the psu and it spins on boot.

In that case I can't think of anything else it could be other than the power supply.

Remove your CMOS for 30 seconds and then powering back up. Usually tends to fix a lot of issues where the PC boots but there's no display on the monitor.

Cheers, I'll give it a go when I get home.
