OK the past few days my PC was just shutting off without warning after 5 mins of so, as if someone has just pulled the plug. the prob kept getting worse and it just sht off after bootup so I decided to open it up an check out the problem. I completely dissasembled it and cleaned each part (I used an antistatic wrist strap and a mat). I took off the heatsink on the pc and the graphics card, cleaned it out and put some more thermal paste on. I put the whole thing back together and booted up. The same thing happened. I didnt mess about with it before It f*cked up, the only thing different it the CPU fan. the fan was a bit damaged so I replaced it with a case fan just to see if it would boot up. I connected it to a case fan port on the mobo instead of the CPU fan port. The fan isnt much smaller, and ive done it before. The heatsink isnt even warming up so it isnt overheating, i dont know what the issue it.

Well, there could be a whole load of causes. but changing your title may help and could attract more people to help
well can you start by telling me what make PC it is.
my guess already could be a driver failing. are there any error messages appearing or maybe the blue error screen (BSOD)
Changing fans wont affect it unless your shorting it for some reason.
going back to safety basics, did you use precautions while inside your pc?
Ayame, i live for you xxx even though the sight may fade the feelings shall always remain
Ayame, i owe you my life but thats all i have to give to you as you already have my love and my heart

Yep, but it was happening before I even opened it up. I used an ESD wrist strat and an ESD mat, both plugged into the earth socket in my wall. You cant be safer than that.

I was faced with a very similar problem fairly recently. I re-seated the cpu and applied thermal paste. Removed and cleaned up the motherboard chip heat sink and again applied thermal paste. I didn't notice that some of the mobo capacitors (caps) had swollen. The symptoms experienced seem identical. It may also be worth while using an eraser on the contacts of your ram chips. (thanks to ddp for that one)
Just my thoughts.
Cheers.

Ive already cleaned the whole thing out, but ill try and clean the ram. As for the heatsink, I have already taken it out, cleaned it and put new thermal paste on it. Im hoping its something to do with the graphics card cos that give ma an excuse to upgrade lol. anyway I dont know what else to do?

is it against the forum rules? ill remove it if it is. I dont hate bush, I just though it would be funny for obama to be swearing at an ex president lol.
Anyway I tried the RAM thing and it didnt work. ill try the graphics now but I dont think there is any point. Ive allready cleaned each contact on everything, its just stopped working. If I knew which part it was Id happily replace it but I cant work it out.

I'll leave the Moderating to the moderators...rofl
If you have more than one stick of ram, remove one and re-boot. If that doesn't work then remove it and insert the other etc etc and re-boot. Eliminate the obvious possibilities first.
Cheers.

Its an upgraded iQon from tesco. lol i know.
Anyway ive added an extra dvdrw, a Radeon X1650 sapphire pro graphics card and thats about it.
It has 2x 512mb ddr2 533 sticks of buffalo ram, a pentium D dual core CPU, and a Gigabyte GZME 819 mobo.
It has a memory card reader but that stopped working a few years ago somehow and now shows up as a floppy drive xD

aszbaz - Profanities, disguised or otherwise, are inappropriate in thread titles, never mind in the actual posts.
Also, CAPS LOCK abuse, in thread titles or elsewhere, is a sin.
Finally, your signature is inappropriate, i see 3 things that need removing, i'll let you guess what they are.
..a member should know all these things...
edit- make that 4 things in the sig, just noticed that the text in the sig pic keeps changing..

Nope.
I dont have parts to test it out, otherwise I would.
Im taking it to the PC shop in a few days, the guy there always helps me out and never rips people off. Its more his hobby than his business.
If you have any ideas until then, Id appreciate it.
TY

Nothing is wrong with my sig. The joke is funny because its not racist. If I wrote something like "What do you call a brown guy flying a plane - bin laden" THAT would be racist. For the record, im a brown guy so thats why I used that as an example.
Anyway the joke is funny because you expect it to be racist but its not. I told my boss it and hes black and he thought it was funny xD

The mod is only doing his job,
it may seem funny to you or your boss but not to others who are sensitive to this particular subject.
He has asked you kindly to remove it. Afterdawn is a non-
discriminant community, Nobody takes kindly to things like this.
Please just listen to Creaky and remove it before you get banned.
as for your problem, could you try and swap the ram between slots and see if they fix your problem. maybe one of your RAM sticks has gone. im sure you could even ask one of your friends to borrow a better stick of RAM for comparison

The word disbelief springs to mind. Now you copped a suspension, either in this thread or another. Lucky the lighting bolts didn't follow close behind eh?
Next time, take more notice.
@ creaky. The sig is still there buddy.. and it still has that bush comment...lol
Cheers all.
EDIT in italics. Seemes to have been a momentary glitch perhaps. The sig has now been removed.

There was nothing offensive in that joke, and calling a black guy a pilot isnt racist, not is calling anyone of any other race flying a plane a pilot. The whole point of the joke was that its funny because you expect it to be racist but its not. I heard it on a documentary on the BBC about the modern world when they were talking about planes.
And onya, you didnt wipe my arse when I was a baby, so dont talk to me like your my dad.

For your information i'm actually of mixed race myself. Either way we don't tolerate racism here, even in jokes. Stop arguing about it and leave those kind of 'jokes' off the forums in future.

Actually, can I just ask without taking the p*ss, what DO you actually find offensive about the joke? Are you saying that black pilots dont exist? Are you saying that flying a plane is somehow linked to oppression? Cos im half black myself and I think you just being racist to me.

It's not what I may or may not find offensive, it's what our viewing public may find offensive. Now give it up already.

No one would find that offensive. Theres always one person in the world who finds something offensive. If I wrote "I like guitars" a drummer might be offended, this is basically the same thing, there was nothing offensive in the joke, you just thought it would cause offense and it wouldn't because its not racist.
