hello guys,

so my desktop keeps having problems booting up, when i on the pc it will have few scenarios:

1) the pc sounds like it boots up but after 3-4 seconds it's off again and after another 3-4 seconds it reboots again then goes off after 3-4 seconds again and this keeps repeat itself on a loop. (nothing shows up on the monitor)

2) the pc sounds like it did boot up with a beep sound but nothing shows up on the monitor at all (pc sound is still running). so i have to manually press the on/off button to off it and try again

3) the pc boots and monitor did shows the booting process but after few seconds monitor goes blank again. (pc sound is still running)

4) the pc boots in a very loud noise and nothing shows up on monitor as usual, and when i press the on/off button it shuts off immediately instead of the usual need of press and holding the on/off button for 3-4 seconds before it shuts down.

so every time after a few tries like 5 tries on average? then it will manage to boot up and i can use the desktop, may i know what could be the issue here? i'm sorry i'm really a computer idiot and i dont know about my components specs except that i'm using windows 7.

Sorry for the long post and thank u for reading and thanks for any help or advice given! :o

If you have a spare PSU, swap to try out. If not, Nigel is your next option.
