Hardware won't start at all.. sort of..?
Hey forum. I have a pretty weird dilemma and I need some help. I'm not sure if this is the place but it's the only one I know of
K it was just recently on a fine day that I realized that my computer (hardware) won't even boot up. I checked the whole power problem jazz by checking the jacks and noticed every thing connected to it was on and working properly except my computer.
Before I continue, I'll note that my computer doesn't have a power switch on the back, only a switch that indicates what power it's supplying (115 and 230 i think?) and a green light that is on to indicate that it's receiving power (this light is normally turned on as with my USP wireless which has blue light even when my computer is fully turned off).
Anyways, I tried to turn it again and here's what I observed:
1. From the inside, nothing looks out of place, burned out, nor noticeably wrong.
2. When i press the power button, the fans begin rotating literally for a SPLIT second before all power seems lost and the computer becomes dead (the green light on the back even goes out).
Fortunately I found a way to remedy this as I'm here requesting help from my computer. If I plug out the power chord that connects to the COMPUTER, and wait around 30 seconds to put it back on and wait another 30 seconds to a minute before pressing the button, it turns on!
But I notice that it isn't the way it's suppose to be or used to be. When it turns on, the fans initially rotates really hard as if it received tremendous current too fast and then it begins to slow down to normal and everything seems to work fine except for the high buzzing noise that my computer now makes. This high buzzing noise seem to continue and show whenever it is working hard during start up, but after everything is uploaded on start up, the high buzzing stops even when it's working hard again and everything seems perfectly normal. (I can play demanding video games, listen to music, etc etc)
Sorry for the huge flood of details but that is the problem. What do you think the problem is? Do you guys think it's safe to leave the computer on and/or use the same remedy method to turn it on? What should I do?
