Title: PC won't start!
Post by: Zorex116 on October 22, 2014, 11:24:04 am
I need help,I've been using my pc fine for 2 years. But today I booted it up and try to log in steam just play DotA 2 it suddenly stopped working. I tried to start it up again,but it only gives me a noise and then shut it self down. And the PC keeps doing the same thing,boot noise shut. I tried unplug and plugging all the components,tried other power supply. Still no luck. It would be nice if you guys try to help me solving this problem.
The fans spins shorty before the sound. It's not beeping sound.

What kind of sound is it? Do you get anything on your monitor when it happens?

Usually that wouldn't cause it to shut off suddenly like that, though.

If the CPU didn't work, the system would boot to a black screen with no BIOS posting.

You need a new battery.

Seems like you over used PC i mean you have left it turned on for much time and something got overpowered and got burned i recommend you to get to any Computer Service before you make further damage over it.Let technicals look on it and there will tell you what the problem is and will fix but don't forget you will have to pay for it.

Sounds like your hard drive may be dead. Judging by what you have explained, however, your power supply may have died on you, and possibly fried the hard drive's internal components.

Tried other power supply,still same. I'm just wondering,what components will get damaged when you rapidly shut down?

When you shut off your pc on the normal way there is an procedure to shut off  everything normal , When you use the rapidly shut off  your processors will  shut off on the wrong way and some things may get lost or placed wrong etc , So  when you use rapidly shut down to  mutch your pc gets unstable,  So shut off your pc on the right way and use rapidly only when your pc is stopped.  ;)

Displace the BIOS battery and replace it, I can only suggest.


(WARNING: That will reset your BIOS settings. When you do this, you will have to adjust the BIOS settings.)

How can I adjust BIOS settings?

You can't just simply adjust the BIOS and think it's all gonna be ok, you need to know what you are doing or you end up messing up your whole system.

When a power supply fails, it can fry electronics instantly.

Depends on which BIOS you are currently using. I can access my PC's BIOS setup by pressing F12 (that screen appears when I try to start my computer).

BIOS battery:

If you don't know how to browse around in BIOS and/or you do not have a PC you're ready to ditch, don't go around changing settings in BIOS.

Most of the time your default bios settings are more than enough to keep your PC running.

If the "noise" you hear is kind of clicking sound, then it's your hard drive. If it's static noise (not the kind that comes from fans) I recommend not turning on your PC and taking it to professionals. (PSU would be fried in this case, and it can damage any and all other components along with it).
