what about when u try everything u listed except bios settings, but u cant get into them because it powers off as soon as it load oem splash screen?

Pls I resit the CPU and it worked fine for severally hours until I personally shut it and try turning it on again but it starts shutting itself down again. Does it mean I have to replace the CPU. (HP COMPAQ DX7200 MICROTOWER)

in my case it was on and off switch that randomly would get activated by itself . had the problem for a year and its been 6 months with no problem after replacing it.

I had something similar, i just checked that temps are 70c max at idle, and I found out cooler is failing. So I ordered a new one. I would add also cpu cooler fail warning, in bios and add motherboard speaker to troubleshoot errors. Might also buy motherboard with troubleshooter display, fast power on, restart buttons. Stock fans are cheap and they will die soon. IF you replace fan in time, than your cpu might be saved. You need those huge radiators, to keep idle temps close to 25-40celsius.

Nice video mate! CPU power delivery capacitors on the mobo are all blown up!!! Nice solution, does not worth the expense nor time to recap that old crap!

Try putting some heat removing pest when u removed the fan may be cpu chip getting heated up and stoping ur computer..i have same computer ,gone faulty, no schematic can u suggest how I can get schematic.????

Bruh my computer shutted down while it was formatting and now it doesn't work , i can only see the text "LENOVO" and i can access to the startup device menu by pressing f12. Can you help me?

For me the problem was my heatsink being loose. Putting it tight up again fixed the problem because it was probably overheating when starting up.

I am working on a 11 year old atom pc about 1.1GHZ. It stopped working 7 years ago for my brother. I kept it and have now diagnoses the problem. The fan stops the windows 7 starter to stop and give a blue screen. Critical Fault message. Without the fan it starts up, no problem. I have tried a few fans but the problem remains. What do I do now? I remember now that my brother raplaced the original fan with a bigger and quiet fan. That might say something?

I have a laptop that automatically shut down at the Window logo, once time, it did work normally until automatically shutdown in the middle of using, then the problem happens again. I have tried to reinstall the window and using another hard drive but still the same issue. What would anyone suggest is the problem? Thanks in advance

Hibi have the same problem and im a online sim racer, its annoying and i carnt get on which has basically wrecked my life lol, i only changed my monitor now its shuting off after bios

1:30 You have a great camera no wonder the picture quality is very good. Most of us are using a camera from our cellphone.

Wait, your not supposed to remove your CPU fan from the out let 😳

I'm using a laptop. How can fix it?

question: does this work with laptops too? my laptop somtimes shutdowns but if i press multiple times it lets me get in the pc

lmao.. And I thought I was helping a mate by putting a random RAM stick I found in my sock draw in a used computer I was restoring for her. Turns out that stick was the problem. thanks for the video man

mine turns off at the first try and it works the second time I press the power bouton

Cool!! Michael Cera is narrating

same problem but on LG P510 netbook.

Dude...its the four five capacitor near the cpu which you need to replace first and you will be able to boot into windows ..this is always bad capacitor issue... recently i have fixed my one 14 year old pentium 865gv motherboard which had the same issue 😄

HAVE AN Asus B85M-G motherboard . Is capable of 32 GB Ram ? I install 16Gb Ram System Locks up ! I install 8Gb Ram system runs fine ! I install 32Gb Ram System Locks up ! I install 8 Gb Ram in any of the four slots , system runs fine . I am totally lost on this one ? I've tried everything ! Every configuration ! Disabled B slots in Bios seemed to help for a short period then ! SYSTEM LOCKUP . What could be wrong with this heap of junk ? I go into bios and the default setting is overclocked automatically ! CPU target clock is set to 4000 Mgz ! I take away turbo mode and try to reset to 3600 and 16 GB ram ! System Lockup . Can You help me ? I'm days , and days , hours , and hours into this mess ! Should I reflash the bios to an earlier update ? Does Windows 10 work on Asus B85M-G ? I'm about to accept defeat ! IDK ? I guess you are the ram guy !

hi,my computer started shutting off seconds after starting when my power went out the other night while my computer was on,so does anyone know what i can do to fix this,sometimes it starts and gets to welcome part and just clicks off,right now its doing repair mode,its actually staying on thru this so far,so im wondering if its something else,and not my hard drive,ive tried everything,like unplugging everything,took battery out ,put it back in after 30 seconds,still does it,but whats weird about this is that its staying on right now while its trying to repair,its been repairing for about 1 hour,is that normal? please help me,i love my old baby,she is an emachine running windows 7 proffesional,i know by end of this year ,they are stopping all updates and support for windows 7 ,i think its bs because i dont want to go to windows 10,but i feel like im being forced to do so,can anyone suggest anything to help me? thank you

Yea, the capacitors on the motherboard near the CPU are dodgy as fuck. That's usually the first thing I check whenever there are sudden shutoffs as it's easy to spot buldged or leaking caps without having to to remove any other component. Not saying that mainboards die often, it's just pretty much the only part where a visual inspection is enough to tell when its defective (unless something went very very wrong). There can be other, less visible issues with a motherboard ofc, but defective caps are the most likely cause of a defective motherboard.

My computer keeps turning itself off after applying new thermal paste because it was overheating.

awesome video

My drama with this began when I recently changed my TFX form factor PSU (on a self-built PC) from a 300W Seasonic to a 300W Silverstone (both of them with that 80 Plus Bronze level of efficiency stamp on them). The Seasonic developed (a few days after install) a fast rate clicking sound - which gave the first glance impression that a fan's blades with hitting something - and the really weird part was that the same clicking sound was coming through my PC speakers too. I pulled that out and opened it up and stuck a pen into its fan (the only moving part in it) but the high speed clicking sound continued coming from that PSU. So, I looked around on YT and didn't find an answer - but I did find what was really going on when I went on an Electronics Engineering forum. There was a guy on there with the knowledge and skill set to analyze and repair the real problem. It's called "micro-arching." It's when you have high voltage and there's a tiny break in electric contacts (it could even be a micro cut in a wire) and you actually see the electricity jumping across to complete the connection and continue on its way on the circuit. When it does that, not only does it create a popping sound but it also creates EM pulse waves that radiate outward in all directions - like what my PC speakers were picking up on - with the same rhythm pattern. This electronics DIY guy on the forum, de-soldered a lot of the connections on the daughter board of the Seasonic PSU , cleaned off the board with an alcohol type solvent extremely well and re-soldered all the parts together again - and now he has a dead silent fully functional PSU . Micro-arching is caused by "poor quality" soldering techniques by the manufacturer. There are quite a few YT videos of people having this clicking problem with Seasonic (and its sister brand Antec) PSUs. I didn't have the patience to go through all that, so instead I got a different brand PSU. So, I get the new Silverstone PSU, pop it in, it boots up dead silent, I get up to logging into an OS (Linux or Windows) and BAM !!! everything shuts off and here I am now with this problem. However, when I log into my BIOS area, my system stays on indefinitely.

yo sarge xD I have an old dell optiplex 7010 with a i7 3770. I want to put it in to a new case think it will be possible... i know prebuild dells are a bitch to work with

Same problems me, thanks for saving my time

i noticed you have a 20 pin power connector on mainboard

my problem is that, when I turn my pc on, it turns on for a second (the fans and the light turn on so I know my pc turned on), but after that it will shut off (the lights and the fans stop working) for around 3-5 seconds before turning on (this time completely) again and brings me to the American Megatrends screen which never happened to me before, only happened to me today, I googled and found that I can get through the American megatrends screen by pressing F1 and choosing save and exit in the BIOS screen, and that's what I did and it worked for me. Does anyone know what is wrong with my pc??? I don't think it's an overheating issue because I've never had any problem with that so far and my PC turns on just fine and I'm using it right now, and it's not hot at all, all the fans seem to work fine, nothing looks wrong on the outside so IDK what to do but it bothers me a lot cz again this is the first time it happened to me. I've tried booting up the pc multiple times already and it keeps doing the same thing, turns on then shuts down before turning on completely on it's own. Thanks :)

You have bad cap by your cpu under your cpu cooler....

Wow, the problem was so obvious. I know this is an old video but seriously capacitors puking their guts out 101.... why’d he not have seen that stuff when he first looked ? It’s been a problem for like ever....!

well I hate to say this: WHERE IS THE EXHAUST FAN?

CMOS was the problem thanks!

All I did for some reason it was a software issue is reinstall windows 10

Thank you

it doesn't work for me

if you have this problem just enter the BIOS and wait 90 seconds then exit and try booting into Windows

Thax so much

If you look at the motherboard, to the right of the CPU, you have some leaking capacitors.

boot from a lynux USB stick and test memory & CPU

the motherboard was definitely bad, if you look at the capacitors around the cpu socket, alot of them were leaking, when capacitors leak out like that, the electricity can't get to certain parts of the board when you switch it on.

alot of blown caps new mobo

I sincerely thanking u man.. It worked

I cleaned my pc from shit in there and put everything back all is connected then i played cs go 3hourns and pc starts turning off and on in boot screen :/

all this heat will do it to computers

blown caps!!!!!

thnik buying used is not a good idea, even if ur on a budget, thats just a No-no, you buy new budget components, now a days you can build a decent one, for a few $$$$ hundred $300 To $500 at most for a ok one

OK your a computer repair tech? cause its called a baud fax modem NOT a phone jack thingy. and always start with the memory sticks pull them all and insert one at a time into the first memory slot, with a single stick if the memory stick s bad you will get a continuous beep. don't ever just start buying random parts and throwing them into it, your wasting time and money.remove one at a time any and all objects not any of the power cables coming from the power supply , see if PC boots to bios then plug back in stuff that works, remove stuff that doesn't. start with CD/DVD rom drives and card readers and internal modems or other cards plugged into pci or pci express slots, if your motherboard has onboard video, remove your graphics card.if the fan in your power supply is spinning it should be working, get a multi-meter and check a hard drive power plug black is ground, yellows are 12 volt reds are 5 volt and orange is 3 volt, if it won't stay on in the computer unplug it from the motherboard a place a jumper wire from the green wire to a ground wire that's what switches it on remove the jumper and it will turn off. if all that fails it is the motherboard or a processor issue and that you should take to a qualified repair shop to have diagnosed. if you do get it to boot up and stay running update the bios on the board.

get your rams and rub eraser.

First!

Give me more time to cover my ears after your spoiler alerts. Geez.

If my HDD is the problem my fucking games! i will re install them again oh godd for $!@@ sake. plus i have shitty internet connection @$#* $#*^@#$!

Why always blame hardware... Try to boot with a USB format as FAT32, not ntfs, that will work trust me :)

Better buy a new computer 🤔
