Friends, today my PC didn't turn on. I opened it and noticed a lot of dust on the cooler, the power supply and the motherboard. I immediately disassembled everything and did a general cleaning. I put thermal paste on the processor and tried to clean the internal cooler of the power source using a cotton swab just to remove the excess, since I didn't want to disassemble it and so I started the machine.
Initially the BIOS asked me to click on F1 to enter its settings. I thought this was normal, because sometimes when I remove the cable from the source of this PC to use in another one I always have here when I use it again it asks to enter the BIOS settings by F1 and in that, I just save it by clicking on F10. Only now when I do that instead of entering Windows it shuts down and restarts on the same F1 screen.
I thought there was something wrong and I redid the whole process of assembly, but then it didn't turn on anymore. I went to test the source and found that it had burned. Especially because I have had this PC for a long time and I had never changed the source and since it had a lot of dust inside it, I believe it burned because of it.
In that I took the source of the other PC and installed it, but before I took the opportunity to buy a new case for this PC since the original one was not in good condition because I have this machine since 2014. After everything was assembled I turned it on again and the problem continued. Starts asking for F1 and when entering the BIOS and saving using F10 it restarts.
Any suggestions as to what it might be? My card is an Asus P8H61-M LX3 R2.0 and the BIOS version is 0906
Datasheet:
- Core i5-3330 processor
- 8GB DDR3 RAM
- 128GB SSD (Windows only)
- 2TB HD (for storage only)
- Simple 500w power supply
In this screenshot of the BIOS notice that I updated the hours, but even so it keeps restarting when I click on F10. Is it the fault of the BIOS stack that has to be changed? Another detail is related to that red bar indicating that the voltage is close to a critical level or am I wrong? If you need more information I am available !!! I have a little knowledge in assembling and maintaining computers and this is the first time that this problem has happened to me.
In the second screen capture, it is the starting point that he returns to after turning off and restarting staying in this wireless loop. Detail, it will only restart if I click on F10 to try to save the settings.
PC home screen. As soon as I call, he asks to click on F1.
Once inside the BIOS, when I'm going to save the settings by clicking on F10, the machine turns off and on again starting all over again.
This is the PSU data sheet that I used on this PC before it burned due to excess dust.
And this is the technical sheet of an old PSU that I installed on my PC and that is probably to blame for the problem.
