Lately my pc started turning off when playing a game (cs go if you ask, but my pc is too freaking useless even for this game) and I noticed my GPU being burning at 100 C. So, the last time I opened the game, my pc turned off completely. I cleared all the dust because that was the reason of the high temperatures. But then, my pc kept on rebooting every 2 seconds, so it couldn't even reach the boot code showing on the screen. I tried removing battery from mobo, ram and then placing them back. Then, I did the same for gpu and it opened and GPU temperatures were fine.
Next day though, my pc, every time I booted it, in the best case, it could hardly stay on for one or two seconds after Welcome screen and desktop, then crash.
After this, I thought it was the gpu, so I removed it. But it was rebooting every 3 seconds.
I disconnected, cpu fans, rams, bla bla and replaced them but nothing.
Then I disconnected the cable from the PSU to the CPU, so no power to CPU, and the fans kept working like it booted just fine without stopping and starting again.(yea i know it didn't really boot without a CPU). Any ideas?
Intel core 2 duo e 8400 3 ghz
mobo : GA-X38-DO0
GPU: PALET NVIDIA GTS 250
POWER SUPLY: OZT 650 W
RAM: KINGSTON HYPER X 1 GB DDR2 * 4
No parts have ever been overclocked.
I can hear the beep from the mobo. I don't think the sound is different from other times. But I can record the sound and upload it on YouTube so someone can check it if it's useful.
Thanks in adcance!
