Sorry this is a little late, but I had the same problem with my PC when I first built it. What you want to do is test the power supply with a paper clip (Look up a tutorial) and if it still turns the fans on and then off then it's a faulty power supply. Best of luck to you!

So I'm building a $500 dollar office pc for a client of mine and I've been wondering which will better affect his pc's performance, a worse CPU + SSD or a better CPU without an SSD? The CPU I'd be using with the SSD(Some $50 128 GB Sandisk) is the Pentium G3258. The other option is a i3 4150...

Hey guys, I have a NZXT guardian 921B case and I am rewiring some of my stuff and would like to wear an anti static wriststrap to be safe while doing this. I realized that when I built this PC I didn't use it correctly but lucked out and didn't shock anything. My problem is that there's no...

Hey guys, I recently recieved my Corsair CX750M and it died within 24 hours. I already have it getting returned and I have $80 to spend. I'd like for it to be at least semi modular, 80+ Bronze, and 750w. I have been looking at the EVGA SuperNOVA 750 B2. Also, I do have Amazon Prime and it would...

Okay, so I recently built my second computer, with a Corsair CX750M PSU. I am 100% positive that everything was compatible, working, etc. It worked for a few hours before I went to bed. I got up this morning and found that when I tried to turn on the computer the fans and LEDs would work for a...

Hey guys, I just did the Power Supply test, and it turned out the psu is dead. I haven't even had it for 24 hours yet. NEVER BUYING CORSAIR AGAIN.

Okay so I just built my second PC last night. The first one worked perfectly. This one worked last night when I finished it and I was playing some games with ease. Then I went to bed (I didnt shut off my PC, I always let it automatically shut off) and then this morning I went to turn it on and...

Hey guys, I just recieved my new super-gaming Alienware laptop in the mail. The total cost was about $5,000, this including 32gb of 1600ghz of ram to replace my old ram (the memory chip broke) and also Dell's premium keyboard and mouse combo for an extra $60 (to get extra fps). I just wanted to...

Okay, so my current pc is an i5 4690k, MSI z97 PC Mate mobo, 1tb HDD(planning on getting a small SSD soon), 8gb 1866 Mhz ram, and a GTX 970. I haven't gotten my PSU yet, because I'm not sure what size I need. I would like to keep it around $60, and modular would be nice, but isn't mandatory. So...

Okay so I have a computer that I'm looking to get a new motherboard because most of the USB and now some of the auxilary ports have stopped working. My budget is about $50-65 and I need a 1155 socket I think for the CPU and 4 DIMM. I also have a Geforce GTX 650 SC 2gb GDDR5 so make sure that...

So I have a Gateway dx4831-01e computer which is running Windows 7 on a 1tb HDD (not sure what brand). It also has an EVGA Geforce GTX 650 2gb GDDR5. So I have two older HDDs (One 500gb and the other 160gb) and I was wondering if/how I can install them. Both of the older HDD's have Windows Vista...
