Old Pc Randomly Reboot - Turning Off Video
Replies: 6 | Post Date: 07-11-2004, 07:25 PM | User: Billfold | Forums: hardwareforums.comThe system is a pentium iii 900mhz, with an asus motherboard. It has been running fine for many years now without any issues. The only thing that was done to it over the years was a memory upgrade, and there were no issues for over a year after that. All of a sudden when using it, the monitor would shutoff or it would reboot sometimes going into the bios screens. This happens very randomly. They are using windows xp, and to eliminate any software problems, i completely reinstalled the system, installing all the latest patches, anti-virus, spybot, etc. It is now a completely clean system. I ran prime95 to stress-test the memory/cpu, and it ran for 8 hours with no problems. I replaced the video card, checked the voltage of the psu with a multimeter, everything looks good. Of course it works perfectly when i'm there, but the moment i leave it acts up. It must be the psu dying slowly possibly working fine most of the time then a drop in power at random intervals. With my experience of dying psus, usually they die completely, as in you can't restart the computer, i have had 2 do this over the last 15 years. Or possibly something wrong with the motherboard? Is it possible the battery on the motherboard needs replacing? Does anyone have any suggestions other than replacing the psu or motherboard?

Computer Turning Itself On And Off
The problem i'm having is that my computer turns itself off and on time to time. It doesn't necessarily restart. Say i turn on the computer and use it for like 10 mins, then it would turn itself off. The part i cant understand is that it goes through the shut down procedure and doesn't just shut off. The time i can use the computer can vary. From seconds to minutes to hour or two. This isn't a temp issue b/c when i check the temperature it's around 50c. And the best part is that it turns itself on for no reason. Say it turns itself off, it might turn itself back on in few seconds or minutes or whenever. Sometimes i shut down the computer and turns around to hear it turning itself on again. Or go to bed and wake up in the morning to see it turned on. And the worst part it sometimes it keep on going cycles if i don't unplug the power. I changed the psu, reformatted the hd and reinstalled the os, changed the motherboard battery but no difference.

Xbox Keeps Turning Off
Ok, my cousins came over for labor day weekend. They played more than 16 hrs in a 48 hr period. When they played it turned off after about 3-4 hours. I did play for 3 hrs before they came over, and this was 2 hrs before they came over. I wanted to play after 2-4 of them being away. It just shut down on me. I waited for 1-3 hrs and it did the same thing. I went to school came back and tried again at 5:00. It shut down again. Please tell me any solutions excluding 1-800-4my-xbox.

Nothing Shows Up On The Monitor After Turning Pc On
The problem is that nothing shows up on the monitor after turning it on. We thought it was the video card, but we tested the card in another machine, and it works. The card is fully compatable with the motherboard. We took out all of the jumper pins except the necessary ones (power, hdd led, etc. ), And the machine still doesn't boot. We've also removed all ide drives, everything is removed except the cpu, ram, and necessary components. There is no beep after the machine has been on for a while. Everything works - fans spin, heat sink spins. We've both set up computers multiple times, and we can't think of what to do. The motherboard is a soyo sy-p4i875p dragon 2. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Computer Keeps Turning Off On It's Own
I keep my pc running 24/7 yesterday i noticed it was turned off. Odd. I turned it back on. Outside of the improper shutdown messages, eveything on the computer worked just fine. Later, it was turned off again. Turned it back on. Same thing. Later, off again. (Repeat 5x)
I then noticed that each time i turned it back on, it took a shorter time for it to go off again. I unplugged it out of the ups directly into the power outlet, ran in safe mode, even did a memory check. It kept shutting down as if someone unplugged it. But each time it shuts down, the chassis lights never go out. There is still power going through the unit. Now it won't turn on at all. It starts for a second and stops. Like a laptop with a dead battery.could it be the power supply has issues?. I thought power supplies either work or they are simply dead.

Problem With Computer Turning On
Today i went a got some thermal paste and took off the cpu fan and heatsink (with some difficulty.amd) and reapplied thermal paste to it (after cleaning it of course) b/c my previous temps were not very good. I did get some of the thermal paste on the chip (not the bottom the top) and i got most off. I then put back on everything and fired it up. The computer turned on for three seconds (give or take) then automatically turned off. (I'm sure i put the fan in correct and everything). Do you think the paste remainder left on the chip is messing it up or (forgot to mention this) the motherboard? I kind of hit the motherboard when trying to get the cpu heatsink off. (No damage as far as i can tell. Btw the fans all spin and any external things lite up for that 3 seconds).

Ps2 Alternative Way Of Turning On
My ps2 stopped working and having just bought a load of stuff for my pc cant afford to get a ps3 until next month! Any how, the silver ribbon leading to the power and eject buttons is broken, the ribbon is made up of 7 cables, and there is a bit of circuitry of the power and eject buttons, not sure what it does. After electrocuting myself of the bulky capacitor (burnt my little finger) on the board that looked like the psu, i decided it was time to stop pretending i knew what i was doing. So is there a way to turn on the ps2 without the ribbon, i guess some sort of hot wiring on the ps2 board were the ribbon usually goes? Or should i just twiddle my thumbs and wait till next month?

Necessary To Log Off Before Turning Off Computer ?
Is it necessary to log off before turning off a computer? Well, i go to shut down immediately without logging off. Eventually, when you turn the computer off it automatically logs you off.

Turning Old Tv Into Dual Monitor
My ultimate goal is to be able to watch video on the tv (originating the laptop) while having my full laptop screen to do work on. And, hopefully, to do this cheaply. The laptop is a dell latitude d620 with only serial ports in the back (i.e. Standard monitor ports, male and female), and usb connections. The tv is an rca with standard rca ports, an s-video port, a g-link port, and something called a vport.

Monitor Not Turning On ? Do I Need To Change Voltage ?
Can anyone help me with something. I have just built a new pc and it worked fine for a while except i sometimes got an error message before it would boot saying 'warning! Now system is in safe mode! Please resetting cpu or memory frequancy in the cmos setup' i could then press f1 to continue and windows loaded fine. However i then changed my case and when i put everything into the new case one of my graphics cards wouldnt work and now my monitor will not turn on or very very rarely, it just stays on standby and the pc stops booting even though the power is on. Can anyone help me with this? I wondered if raising the core voltage would solve this? Its not something i have ever done, which would i need to change vcore? Maybe the graphics card problem is related to this, could it be a problem with the mobo which has caused both problems?

Hp Pavilion Dv6000 Isn't Turning On
Why isn't my hp pavilion dv6000 turning on? I was using my computer earlier and it just shut off. I noticed that when i have my power cord plugged into the computer, the charger light is only on for about 30 seconds and then it goes off. My computer will turn on while i'm holding the cord and getting a charge. When the charger is off my computer/lights turn on for 5 seconds then turn back off. Does it sound like my power source needs to be replaced?

Turning Off Wifi Modem After Using Affects Connection Speed ?
Does by not turning off your wi-fi modem after using it affects your internet connection speed? My wi-fi speed was the fastest the first two months i installed it, but now, it's so slow i can't even watch youtube.could it be because my habit of not turning off the modem? Or could it be because of the *** isp? I'm not from the united states, so i'd appreciate it if you don't ask about the isp i'm subscribing to. And i'd really appreciate your suggestions!

Dongle Attached To Usb Hdd For Turning Into Wifi Fileserver
I'm told that dongles exist for connecting to usb hdd's. I'm just looking for a backup solution for my server that would do mirroring, and throttle bandwidth transfers to prevent clogging the lan / wifi bandwidth. Do these magical devices really exist? What are they called? How much do they cost and where can i get them?

Microsoft Wireless Keyboard And Mouse Cause Monitor Stopped Turning Off
I just got a free microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse. Ever since i installed them my monitors have stopped turning off. I tried setting the screen saver and it also doesn't work (i don't normally use one). Also tried rebooting a few times since sometimes a program (like an emulator that disables this feature and forgets to turn it back on when your done) will stop them from turning off. Nothing else has changed. Any ideas? Using windows 7

Reboot Repeating
My pc froze during a disk clean - sounded like an aircraft taking off too. However, when i tried to stop the action, the screen froze and i switched off and restarted pc. Problem is now that it won't boot up! Gets past the windows xp splash screen, goes black for a few seconds, then simply reboots, and simply keeps doing it! I have tried rebooting in safe mode but to no avail. I am loathe to do a system restore as i think i'll lose so much. Help anyone? Using windows xp pro by the way.

Continuous Reboot
I have a cheap emachine t 1300 computer using windows xp and when i click turn off computer, windows logs off (slowly) and as soon as cpu power light goes out it immediately powers itself back on. I have went to the startup & recovery section and unchecked automatic restart, but it still does this.

Reboot Loop
Starting about two weeks ago my computer would occasionally get stuck in this "reboot loop" when i try to reboot. It would boot, then restart itself before the bios screen, then restart itself before the bios screen again repeatedly until i manually turned it off at the power supply. Now, since installing windows 7 professional 64-bit, it won't reboot at all. Instead it just goes into this reboot loop until i manually turn it off. I know that there's problems with creative's drivers and win 7, but i'm wondering it it's my mobo. Any suggestions?

Sporadic Reboot
Not my first system build, but i'm more of a hobbyist than a tweaker. I'm really building this one for work, and i'd like to get 3 raid arrays set up. I set everything up, turned the unit on for the first time, i went into bios and did my set-up in there, only changing things minimally: i set boot order, i set the sata mode to raid, and set the outboard sata control mode to raid. I monitored the pc hardware for a about 15 minutes using the health section of the bios, confirmed stability, i then saved cmos to bios, and exited saving the changes.computer rebooted, giving me a single beep indicating that everything is posting fine, and detected all 6 sata drives appropriately. I did the ctrl+i to configure arrays, and successfully configured 3 separate raid arrays. I exited, rebooted again, and finally got to a point where i was installing the os. Before i could get the raid drivers installed using the f6 method, i the computer shut down, and re-started. When it went through the boot sequence this time it found that the device connected to raid port 4 was no device detected, and registered my raid array as "degraded". As i was attempting to discover the source of this, it would randomly shut down and reboot itself. Finally i manually shut the system down, and re-started it. It then correctly detected my missing hd, but listed it in the raid array listing as "rebuild". Thinking it may be a hd malfunction, i disconnected that hard-drive that was giving me problems, and it does seem to boot faster. I do think there's a problem with that drive, but the primary problem of sporadic rebooting seems to persist. I turned it on this morning and it ran for 15-20 minutes, reset itself, then before it was through the post sequence, it rebooted itself again, and now has been running for about an hour just in bios. I've been monitoring temperature and voltage, both of which have remained constant. I started working on it, installing os, and it shut down again, at about 1 hr. 25 minutes of runtime, all temps and voltages seem constant. It shut-down during hd format, now hd's are recognized within their raid configurations, but the windows setup will not recognize that there are drives installed. I'm a little lost on this one. I'm not even sure what could be causing the problem at this point. Any suggestions?

Remote Reboot
I've been asked to come up with a solution to remotely reboot network equipment that goes down at off site locations (around the country). I've been able to find a few options, but have not been able to find any reviews on them. I was hoping some of the members here might either have experience with the products, or could point me in the right direction. We need to be able to reboot a modem, router, and possibly switches when we lose internet at a remote location. I feel that the best solution is one that will let me "call" the equipment and have it cycle power. One of the devices i'm looking at is the power mate - black box. Seems to fulfill my needs at a good price
Dataprobe also makes a good product (or so i think) but it is a little pricey. I am looking at the ibootbar. Does anyone have any experience with these devices or possible guidance? It would nice to not have to "test" something out by spending $200+.

How To Reboot Pc With Keys ?
What are the three keys needed to reboot a computer? Reboot as restart the computer. We installed a sound device from dell and it said to restart the computer. How do you do this safely?
Answer:-
I assume you mean ctrl +alt +del although this doesn't reboot your machine it opens task manager providing you have a windows operating system. Generally used to monitor programs, processes, computer resources and to end non-responsive programs.could add some additional details on what you want to achieve by doing this? If you are running windows, click start > shutdown > restart. That is the safest way i know of and has never caused any problems for me.

Pc Random Reboot Problem
My pc will randomly reboot. Usually, it means that the cpu is overheated. But in this case, the cpu fan is still running normally and the reboots mostly occur when i just boot up into windows xp. Also, sometimes, when i power on or restart the pc, the pc will just hang at the part where the motherboard brand and name is displayed. It will not continue to boot up the diskette drive or the hard-disk. I have to switch off the main power and power up the pc to get it to boot properly. Pressing the restart button doesn't work. I feel dat it could be caused by the motherboard. The motherboard's brand is 'soyo dragon ultra', does the problem lie with the motherboard?

Pc Just Shut Down And Reboot Repeatedly
It's an abit kv7-v with a sempron 2600+ i believe, 512 mb with a radeon 9200. I can get more details if you need. Anyways, starting a few months ago it would just shut down and reboot, repeatedly doing this, sometimes after it had booted to the os and ran for 15 minutes, sometimes during the boot progress so i don't think it's a virus. We replaced the psu, for some reason the hardware monitor in the bios is detecting the processor at 200 degrees fahrenheit! This cant be right, the fan is sinning the heatsink is applied correctly with thermal paste so i'm thinking either the mobo or processor is shot. Can anyone shine any light on this?
P. S. I replaced the psu because the computer would'nt boot when plugged into this power strip of his, sometimes when he opened the garage door the computer would reboot, and when he shut the computer down the case fans would still run unless you actually shut the power switch off on the bakc of the psu. Maybe this actually indicates a mobo problem? Although the 200 degree processor temperature, even though it's obviously not true of or the proc would have melted by now still worries me anyway in regards to the processor.

Hp 4000t Goes Offline After Reboot
I have just upgraded our file server on a peer to peer network to winxp pro. The "print server" (really just another peer which does little but run the printer) is running w95, as is most of the rest of the small network (one client on win98se). Upgrading the other computers (hardware or software) is not currently an option. When i set up the printer (hp lj4000 t) on the win xp box as a local printer (which i have to do in order to be able to name it what i need to), everything works fine, until a reboot. Then the printer is listed as offline, and i cannot bring it back online without re-installing it from scratch. Efforts to do so bring various error messages, none of which want to happen now that i want to transcribe them . How can i get the printer to remain "online" after a reboot? Queries for obvious details that i have forgotten to include will be responded to promptly! All suggestions that involve working with current hardware/software will be tried.

System Unstable After Reboot
I've a quite strange hardware problem on my system. After reboot system becomes quite unstable, so in windows i usually get a blue screen of the death. If the system survives about 24h to 48h running, it becomes stable. It's not a software issue since i've reinstalled xp, and have also the same trouble on linux (ubuntu). Memory test (with memtests) says no problem. And video card changed and problem persists.

Hard Lock And Reboot
At stock gpu clocks machine runs fine. When oced machine locks up in cpu test of both 06 and vantage. Attempted solutions:
Reinstall os, drivers, software, etc. Tried different drivers
Running gpu fans at 100% with 130cfm fan on top of cards
Reseated everything on mobo
Upped vgpu in bios
What do i need to do to solve this?
