Briefly:
When I press the on button, the PSU starts working, and for a second the CPU fan and
VGA fan start to work too but then before any beeps or anything, all the fans go off.
So nothing except for the PSU fan stays on. And it can't be a problem with the PSU since I tried replacing the existing one with a stronger new PSU and still no luck.
What are the possible causes for this?
Details:
I was working with my system two days ago when all of a sudden it just went off.
As if the power suddenly failed. So I turned it on again and this time it got to
windows and my temperature monitor started warning me about the voltage to CPU being too low
(around 10.7 V) and then after a few seconds the graphics got all messed up.
I restart and this time POST tells me that overclocking has failed and that I
should reload default BIOS settings. I do that and restart and the computer is turned off before
it shows anything.
I thought that it's a problem with the Video Card fan.
So i took the VGA card out and cleaned the fan and put it back in and try to start it again
and this time I got the problem mentioned above. The fans run for less than a second and
before any beeps, everything except for the PSU goes off.
I thought it's a faulty PSU problem so I changed the power supply and installed a new fan on the CPU, but still the exact same problem.
What are the possible causes for this?
Should I try changing the MB and CPU? I'm clueless....
