Help! Com dead after 3 months overseas!

[KaiserBreath]

Hi,

I tried switching rams but it doesn't seem to boot at all. Please take a look at video:

Thanks a lot for looking!

You may wish to try re-seating your graphics card and using only one piece of RAM. If it works, you can then add the other RAM one piece at a time.

You may also wish to clean the connectors on the RAM and graphics card.

hi,

I took out all rams and graphic card. It still cannot stay powered on. I assume there will be lots of beeping right in this case? It just continues to power off. Can it be power supply failure?

Likely motherboard dead after a period of unuse. I have 2 working motherboards of different brand that are disconnected and stored in anti-static bags for a few month only to find them unable to post when power up a few months down the road.

Same problem with my q6600 pc using asus p5k-se. After I switched to i7-4790k and months later tried to power up the old machine, same fate

 

[KaiserBreath]

crap. I even took out all hard disks but still same behavior. I was hoping more to be a power supply issue. Is there a chance of being that? Change mobo is expensive... Looks like need to go Sim Lim again..

Have you tried replacing the CMOS battery?

 

[KaiserBreath]

Yup thats what i gonna try next. If that still not work..

I saw this tip before but not sure whether can work for you or not.....

Unplug power cable from the mains or behind PSU, then press and hold the casing power button for 30 seconds or more..... Plug back and try to start up......

Do a clear CMOS on the board and see how it goes.

my laptop also same fate, left usused for a week, cannot even switch on, now I am also trying to replace the cmos battery, hope it works~

 

[xiaowhois]

clear cmos follow by change cmos battery

 

[KaiserBreath]

changed battery. Still same...

Most likely motherboard rip! Happened to me twenty years ago. Never leave your pc mains off, the pc system needs subtle supply of electricity to remain healthy.

 

[KaiserBreath]

actually changed mobo once already. Never expect so fast change again. Like 2 years only. Actually now using gigabyte, spoil 3 times in my life time. Any other brand more hardy?

Hmm, can't really think of anything that concretely leads to your problem.

Is your environment very dusty? If you can, perhaps you can try to take apart all the PC components and use compressed air to clean them thoroughly paying extra attention to your mainboard.

Though unlikely, dust "could" cause electronics to "short circuit" especially on the bus lanes.

 

[KaiserBreath]

I clean my computer of dusts every 3 month or so.

Actually problems already surfaces whereby it will auto power off suddenly before I go for holidays but it is unpredictable to replicate. Now it is totally dead so easier to find the cause.

I shall go to sim lim later and find out the problem. Thanks guys!

Hi, in the end is the ram slot dirty according to repair shop. Cleaned now but still unstable as it takes 2 boot to get into windows. I will leave it to run and see if it will power off again. Cheers.
