ok help needed if poss, when i bought this comp(mesh is the make) plugged it all in and all was ok untill one night we were getting ready for a clan war when the comp just stopped working..........like it had been unplugged

.

i put it on its side and took the side panal off to have a look if any wires had come of, all seemed ok so i switched it back on and it worked BUT if i stood it upright it went of again

so i laid it back on its side switched it on again it worked so i left it there since.

now the problemb is it will not boot up, it wont even get to the beep stage, it runs for 4 to 5 secs and switches off
.

i'v checked all the wiring and all seems ok as i susspected a loose wire

is there a common earth where all the earth wires go to

im sure its something really silly its just finding it

any ideas would be appreciated

If it switches on and then goes off with a harsh "click" - it could be ur processor overheating, and its actualy the motherboard switching itself off... because I had this kind of problem a while ago... check the cooler on the CPU, whether its firmly on - i.e. it shouldnt move at all if u touch it... if it moves - its the cooler and u can see what needs to be one, or whether some heat-paste needs to be applied... if it doesnt move and its alright - i dot have a clue:)

some ideas :

check with attention all connector (particular CPU,CPU cooler and AGP or PCIE card)

switch totaly off the computer. meaning if u have a button behind power supply : swith off. remove wire of power supply. switch on the button. wire power supply again...

how old is the mother board ? if it's an old one (more than 2-3 years) : check if all component are OK. Particular condensator. On cheap MB, capacitor explode sometimes.

if u can, try to change to another power supply.
