Moomba445 Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 I recently bought and built my own computer (specs in my profile), and I am having a problem. The computer will turn on for approximately 2 minutes, and then turn off, but the LEDs are still turned on. I don't know what the problem is, and I am not sure how to fix it. This computer has worked perfectly for about a month and a half, but after I turn it on after moving back from college, it gives me this problem. I tested to make sure that it wasn't a software problem. Can anyone help me with this predicament? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you done a visual inspection on the inside to make sure your CPU cooling unit is still securely mounted, that all connectors are still firmly connected etc etc? Also, have you taken a look at your temperatures before the system turns off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, have you taken a look at your temperatures before the system turns off? Yes. I feel stupid. It was the processor's heat sync that was not completely connected to the motherboard. Thank you for your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowbeard Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 No worries man, it happens to all of us. And, at least it was an easy fix with no defective gear to mail off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
