Hey guys,
I don't know if this is even the correct forum but i am getting pretty desperate. This is a TROUBLESHOOTING thread. I am damn desperate and any help would be appreciated. Thank you
I basically have a q6600, 8800gt, windows xp 32 bit, 2 gigs of ram (forget which kind), ocz gamerxtreme PSU, abit ip35 pro motherboard.
It started happening about a month ago. I tried starting my computer and it would start up for literally 1-2 seconds, it would light up, fans start up, then it would shut off. I panicked and kept hitting the power button for about 10 tries and it worked.
I shut down my computer and the same problem happened. So i decided, as a temporary solution until i take it in to someone who knows wtf they are doing, i just would not shut down my computer and just keep rebooting if it slows down. Problem is, for breaker issues (moved into a new house) the breakers turned off the power twice and each of those times took me literally about 2 minutes hitting the power button.
A week or 2 passed and just 1 hour ago, my computer shut off on its OWN. It was not the breaker because JUST the computer shut off. I literally spent 23 minutes hitting the power button repeatedly before i gave up (yeah i know).
When it happened the first two times, i tried switching the ram to different slots, i checked connections best i could (i don't really know much about comps). I doubt it did anything, but i'm trying to give the best background i can. When it happened an hour ago, i unplugged the dvd drive thinking it might be sucking up too much power and unplugged my speakers, etc. It did not help.
As far as error codes, the first two times it turned off, it would stop @ 9.9 which indicates a normal shutdown. When i power it on, it would go up in numbers before it stopped at 9.9. Sometimes it would finally hit C1 but make a long high pitching beeping noise, but the power would STAY on, but i would have nothing on my monitor. After i held down the power button to shut it down, i would hit it again and only then would it start working again normally. This happened for BOTH first times (1 hour ago would make the third)
Now, when i hit the power button, it just jumps from 9.9 to 8.3, quickly increase and stop at 9.9. My "trick" does not work anymore and i have very urgent reports due on tuesday and i have NO idea what i am going to do.
ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
Thank you!
