No luck unfortunately!

Thank you for the advice, I won’t try it again.

😳 I just very quickly unplugged it in case it was a faulty connection. But the boot bug still occurred and it failed to turn on. Rest assured the cooler is plugged back in and the computer is working fine (when it eventually booted)…

Thank you for the the advice. Having never played with the inner gubbins of a PC before I’ve had fun and certainly learnt a lot! Unfortunately, none of these actions fixed the boot issue. I even tried turning on the PC without the cooler, based on what Spyder suggested, and even the DVD drive...

So here is the LED and beep sequence on cold boot: 1. CPU light flashes red once, DRAM light flashes amber once, immediately turns off (no beeps) - all within a few seconds 2. Computer turns itself back on, CPU light flashes red once, DRAM light turns amber for 5 seconds, all lights off...

Sorry for the delay, I’ve only just tried removing the RAM. Sadly, the issue occurred with both RAMs used alone! Any other ideas about what might be causing the issue? 🤔 Just to clarify, yes those are the switch-offs mid boot I was referring to and also the speaker is connected with working...

In typical fashion, the problem happened the very next day I used my PC... Here is a new video, which shows the motherboard lights. Any ideas? https://share.icloud.com/photos/06e3A2DnoSEGFvTfmX-ib2YEg

So I took off the cover to make a video of the LEDs, but I first did some highly technical cable wiggling and checking everything was pushed on. Then I started the video…and it turned on perfectly! 😅 I will keep an eye on it and if the problem returns I will let you know. Thanks for your help 👍

Hello everyone, For the last couple of months my desktop pc has not been turning on properly. It starts turning on and then switches off mid boot. It does this quite a few times before finally working. Once it’s on, it works perfectly, no issues with Windows or any programme. I can put it to...

Great advice, thank you both! I already have a Norton antivirus subscription for multiple devices which I can add to it, so removing the Bullguard sounds sensible. Dead pixel - as you say £19 is not a lot for peace of mind, only reason I didn't initially consider it was that I won't look at...

Hi everyone, My first post (if you discount when I posted this same spec in the wrong forum)! I bought a gaming desktop PC from PCS last year and now I'm looking to purchase a laptop for myself and my girlfriend to use. I've drafted up some specs - any advice would be much appreciated! :)...

I realise now this should probably have been posted in the 'Check this spec' page. Sorry about that, I will repost there! I'll keep checking both posts for replies but one of them can be deleted if needed!
