Computer shuts down after 3 seconds

[Jason Porter]

The other day i went to boot up computer and it just shunut down after 3 seconds or so. Would do that for a few tries then work fine. So i stopped shutting down. Restarts worked ok but if i left off too long same problem. Today it shut down middle of using and now 3 second shut down. In that 3 seconds everything lights up and spins. All 6 case fans, cpu cooler fan attached to radiator, psu fan, gpu fans. I tried different plugs and noticed when i unplug epu cable ot doesnt shut down but doesn't fully boot. When inplug in shuts down.

Asus msa99fx pro r2.0 motherboard
Not sure cpu but it's the amd 8 core
Msi 970 gtx gpu
Thermaltake toughpower grand 1050w
16gb ram
Cooler master water cooler cpu.

System was built year ago and worked fine whole time

Oh i just noticed something. When working good i would hear a fan ramp up. Think psu? Now as soon as it starts to ramp up thats when it shuts down. Or no ramp at all. Im leaning towards psu but need help. Thanks

have you tried to reset your BIOS settings ? by using the jumper or removing the battery ?

 

[Jason Porter]

I pulled battery. Not sure how to jump. I can try battery again.

 

[jimmyEatWord]

no they're the same thing , if it doesn't work it could be something more serious

Your psu is faulty, take it out before something happens... Test the psu after disconnecting from the motherboard by plugging in to the mainboard, attach 3 fans with molex adapters and let it run for 30 mins. If you register any kind of odd behavior or if one of the fans stop spinning... its time for a change... Many may disagree with this method....

 

[jimmyEatWord]

are you using the onboard graphics by any chance ?

 

[Jason Porter]

Im using my gpu. Im leaning towards psu after reading a few posts. Someone had similar issue where if you spam power button like was doing would boot. Replaced psu and he was good. Just want to verify here first.

 

[Jason Porter]

Oh my results from battery pull. It went longer that boot. And this time keyboard mouse lit up. But when i heard fan ramp up(psu?) It shut down again.

 

[Jason Porter]

I constantly monitor my temps. Cpu and gpu and have always been good. Should have put that in post i think

 

[Jason Porter]

I switched out my 1050w psu with an 850 and still same problem

Try booting with one ram stick... check to see if it works... If its not your psu, then its guaranteed your ram or ram slots... Check each RAM and RAM slots,i.e, by alternating the working RAM stick in both the slots...

Ok the ramp up sound is my cpu fan attached to radiator. When that fan ramps up it shuts down. Also i notice as soon as cpu light comes on on the mb it shuts down

Ohh ok then, ignore my previous message...

 

[Sohom]

Check the temps again by running prime95... Check with HWINFO...

 

[Jason Porter]

How can i check temps its been off all day and doesnt turn on

 

[Sohom]

Do the RAM check then...

 

[Jason Porter]

Oh so the epu thing is actually my cpu power i think. If i unplug that no issues but not a full boot

 

[Sohom]

Did you overclock your cpu anytime?

 

[Sohom]

One thing i might say that new information tends to change the thinking to a new component... But uptil now, considering evrything, i can personally guarantee the motherboard is faulty...

 

[Jason Porter]

Tried both sticks in each slot no changes. Teied single sticks in each same result

 

[Jason Porter]

I actually had to underclock cpu or certain games crash

 

[Sohom]

Ohh man, sry to say this... but pls include all the details even if its a little weird in the question.... Everytime you provide new details the thought changes somewhere... I am not being rude but being logical...

Found my cpu model

 

[Jason Porter]

Sorry not sure whats relevant

 

[Jason Porter]

Checking newegg and seems all compatible mbs are out of stock. Is there a site that lists compatible mbs for my or any cpu.
