BADLY NEED HELP!!

[saritacute]

Can anyone share some thought on why my computer just casually dies? it suddenly died then no signs of life after (not a single component is running) but comeback to life after >12 hour.

im sure it's not the psu, tried the psu to a dummy pc and it worked fantastic.

tried upgrading the bios

Disconnect the power cable, and press your power button for about 10 times. Discharging the whole system.

Now try and see if it boots up. If that is the case you porbably have a faulty Motherboard.

 

Thats all I can think off right now

I think it's the PSU switching to safe mode.

If a PSU does that, it says in that mode for a few minutes/hours before it wants to power back on again.

If you disconnect the power from the PSU when it is in safe mode, it resets as well.

2nd try did not worked as well

If that didn't work I would try to isolate the problem by getting everything out of the case and testing it 1 by 1, Do you get the PC to boot with just the motherboard, CPU the PSU and 1 stick of Ram? (using the motherboards display output)

Press the power button as suggested above, but that only works if the PSU is disconnected or switched off with the big switch next to the power connector.

Also, try to listen for a click. When my PSU goes into safe mode it makes a quite clear click sound. It's just 1 click btw.

 

You can't disable it, it's a safety feature. If it is indeed the PSU going into safe mode it's basically protecting it from a potential disaster. If it wouldn't go into safe mode something will probably blow up and die...

 

I got my PSU in safe mode once because i shorted an IDE connection, everything was fine, but if the PSU hadn't gone into safe mode and just kept sending power something would have probably died.

I guess I have to wait until tomorrow lol

Well your hardware is not making it easy

Can you describe the exact things you have tried by now?

removed some of the components, discharge, directly plugging it to an outlet. It's so weird because Im sure it will come back to life later.

 

not entirely sure if this pc to totally broken or not.

I honestly can't find any reason for your PC to turn on after a couple of hours.

Discharging the whole PC would mimic that situation. Maybe with the exception of overheated components.
