Huckleberry Pie Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 OK, so I assembled an Asus P5S-MX SE board, added the necessary stuff to it, and when I'm about to boot it up after I slapped it in a case with a brand new power supply, the fan shuts down after a few seconds. There wasn't anything that's obviously wrong with my setup - practically everything was there, all except that it mucked up, even if it started in a bench test before heading home. Any suggestions?

JustADummy Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 What is your fan voltage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 What is your fan voltage? Probably twelve something, and it ran when I bench-tested it. However, it shuts itself off after ten to fifteen minutes unless if you ventilate it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pandora Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Did you get Asus PCProbe II with that mobo? Try running that and check the temp of the NB, SB and CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Pie Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Did you get Asus PCProbe II with that mobo? Try running that and check the temp of the NB, SB and CPU. Yes, but on the BIOS it reads 40-40+ degrees Centigrade, then, a few minutes later, it shuts down by itself. Unless if you try to reboot it a few times. Is there something wrong with my board? Cause I don't want to spend another thirty to fifty bucks on a replacement... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustADummy Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 Or, it can be your processor, try with another processor and see if it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustADummy Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 lol Warning, don't eat Oreo's near the PC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I have a patched mobo, (a couple capacitors blew last year) & currently have to keep the side cover off w/ a desk fan blowing into it. You could look at your board for any sign of bulging in the circuits, mine were obvious. Even new parts can be defective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 My old GFX card fried due to chocolate in the heatsink... but... no idea how it got there.... little PC people? Make sure you've got a quality power supply, the cheap one's won't get you anywhere, enermax and corsair are good quality brands that come to mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Urbanoutlaw Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 That makes sense, I had the same kind of problem when I put satellite radio in my van. It turned out the power cord was only letting through half the amperage it needed. It work for a little bit & just quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people say such components are rawther hard to find - I think I have to go to Raon in Manila (known for electronics shops and stuff) and find a certain capacitor...

Urbanoutlaw Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 I tried using a small hammer to tap them flat again, but that didn't work....... Seriously, I've got a good hardware guy who's dayjob is building circuit boards. He fixed it on a break at work. Sorry I can't be more help but one of the other guys should have a source. I did a quick search for CAPACITORS & got this - http://www.elecdir.com/site/store/1823/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
