The current status is : I turn on the ups and the fans start spinning, no led light or anything on the screen. Tried clearing CMOS - same effect.

The problems I am having are: 1. PC would turn off randomly instantly (no overheating , I checked) 2. Sometimes It would partially start on its own, when the UPS is turned on. By partially I mean the cpu/chasis fans spin, but the led power indicator light doesn't turn on . 3. When...

It restarts even when data is being written to, read from. But I'll check the settings anyway.

System: ASUS m2a-vm mobo 2 gb ram(2 sticks, one corsair, one simmintronics) AMD 4000+ X2 cpu Problem: for the past few days , my hard-disk intermittently makes a 'restarting' sound (as if it just has been started). And everything goes unresponsive for a minute. I have changed the sata cable...

for raspberry pi there is a waiting list of about 500,000 . So there is no way one get one anytime soon. But yes you are right raspbberry pi is exactly what fits my requirements.

Hello I am looking to build basically a very very low specs linux box. 256mb ram would be an overkill. Storage requirements - 1-4 gb Input - ability to plug in a mouse keyboard Should be new, no second hands parts. atleast 1 usb port. Budget - 50$ Purpose: This isn't for regular use...

ok assuming that an 18C drop in temps is possible, this would mean that my thermal paste, heatsink and cpu fan are working optimally , right? But if this is the case, shouldn't my temps not reach 80+ in the first place.

but 18C in an instant? is that even possible? I am no scientist, but shouldn't it take atleast a few seconds for the heat to dissipate ?

according to Speedfan, core temp and other software. I ran a stress test , the temps slowly increaed to 83C , I stopped the stress test and instantly the temps dropped to 65C, and then to 60C 10 seconds later. After about 1-5 minutes the temps drop to 45C Is this normal ? Me thinks that the...

I'll be blunt. I have no desire for your 2 cents, if you had a couple of PC's frying where you think the PSU took down your mobo , I have no need of that as well. If all your knowledge comes from reading reviews and other opinions on the net, I again don't need your opinion. Can a PSU really...
