My computer turns on briefly and then off again, before restarting. Could someone tell me how to fix it?
OK, so, my dad I both the same computer, it was a custom made hi-spec computer, not made by DELL or anyone. I lived in Spain at the time so I took my one over to Spain but it didn't work there. It worked for 5-20 minutes at a time before freezing. My dad's one in Ireland did work however. I took it to be repaired, and what they did was they took out the motherboard and refitted it with a low-end one, but at least it worked, I have since then moved back to Ireland but since moving here the computer just turns on briefly as in for 20 - 30 seconds before shutting down again and then restarting. I looked it up on the internet and it says that the problem is most likely that I need to switch the power setting on the power unit, but I opened it up and there was no switch on the exterior power unit, so I don't know what the problem could be. So if anyone know what it could be it would be greatly appreciated
Typically the switch you're talking about is on the outside of the powersupply near where the power cable plugs in, it's recessed a bit and usually red. if your power supply doesn't have one, replace it with one that does as this is most likely your problem.
