Title: My Computer turns off...
Post by: metavirusx on January 24, 2006, 10:37:10 AM
Ok, every time when i get on the computer, and turn it on and everything, ctrl alt tab close some programs and what not, it works fine... but then sometimes, the computer randomly does 1 of 2 things. it either shuts down the monitor (orange light) and cannot be brought back, or it turns off all the fans and harddrive and turns off monitor as well. The only way if it turns the fans off, is i have to go and mess with the cables as if they were not properly placed inside the case. I have to press the restart button on the case and it comes back up. I am hopefully gonna send this computer back to CyberPower as the SLI close pin has broken, as well as one of the blades on the CPU fan. Someone help me with this problem, i really need to know what it is and try to at least fix it before i send it back because i need to backup a lot. Thanks

Someone may have other ideas, you can start messing around with the inside of the computer

Loose cables, maybe
faulting Power supply,MB,  possibility
If your willing, you can reseat all wiring>>Plugs

Try restarting in safe mode and see if things are better
But
If you can't even get this machine constantly running and it's still under warranty
Let them fix it or replace it
