ok so i turn on my computer and it clears the BIOS no problem. as soon as it gets to the boot screen and starts to load windows it just dies. im pretty sure this has something to do with my hard drive because as soon as it starts to run something from it, it turns off. I would really appreciate help. thank you

Start by checking fans, it's probably overheating.

If you can, install Motherboard Monitor (discontinued, but if your mobo is on the support list...) or SpeedFan/CoreTemp and monitor your heat levels during the scan. If they shoot higher than 50 degrees celsius, be worried.

You're right, I just like to keep it below 50.

1. Check the CPU fan, ensure it is spinning. If it is not check the cable is attatched correctly to your motherboard.

2. It could be your ram. More than likely this is the problem. How many sticksm of Ram have you got? If you have 2, then take one out of the 2nd slot and just try to boot up with one. Then if that doesnt work then swap the stick of ram with the one you just took out. 3. Check the PSU, how many watts does it put through? Is it sufficiant. If you have 3 HDD, a core 2 duo and 8800 GT Vid card running on 350watt, then thats your culprit. My System: Custom Built v1.2

I guess it could possibly be virus related or temperature related. I had a Windows
shutdown issue once and decided to clean the computer. The CPU fan was so clogged with dirt that the blades would barely move. Also, the thermal grease between the CPU and the heat sink had completely dried up. I thoroughly cleaned everything and applied new grease and the system has run smoothly ever since. |
