hi
I have a Pentium 4 1.5ghz processor, a golden orb for the HS/fan, a abit p4t motherboard, geforce II 32meg vid card, soundblaster 5.1 sound card, 512 megs of samsung pc800 ram. Anyway, my PC was running for 3 days in a row with no shut down (this is normal, i have ran it for 2 weeks with no shut down before) anyway, today i shut it off because it seemd to be running a little slow (i thought it needed a reboot) i went to turn it on again and i got nothing. to i thought to unplug it and wait 10 or 15 seconds, so i did and it booted to the windows screen and shut down again on its own. so i unpluged it for 20 more seconds, and rebooted. the pc turned on and went into windows for about 15 seconds, then shut down again. so i did the unplug trick again and it booted up again. this time it stayed on for about 2 hours, i left the room and came back in to find it had shut off again. so i tried the plug thing again, and this time it wouldnt do anything. so i pulled the pc out of my desk and took the cover off and looked around inside. i unpluged everything and pluged it back in again (i thought maby it was a loose wire) i even took the HF/fan off the CPU to look if i might have cracked the CPU (it has never been OC'd, but i looked just in case) once i had the case off, i saw something interested when i tried to boot. if i shut off the power supply and waited 15 min (enough for the green light on the MB to turn off) then pluged it back in, and hit the power button, the PSU fan, and the 3 fans in the case did about a 1/2 turn when i tried to power it up.
the weirdest thing is i havent had my case open in about 2 or 3 weeks. ususly if something isnt working is because of something i did, so this has me lost. if you can think of anything for me to try, or if you think you know whats broken post here, icq me or e-mail me. i need my main pc back up and running and im lost on ideas for this. thanks in advance for any help.
