Pc wont turn on +repz

[Stryderman]

Right basically ive got my m8s pc an it doesnt turn on?

Like when you push the on button it comes on like once/twice then jus turns off but most the time when you push it on it does nothin at all.

Any1 any ideas? Im not takin it into a shop its too expensive.

+rep for all decent answers

Does anything come up on screen? Any beeps? Does the HD spin up? Do the fans come on? Have you checked all the connections inside?

[Stryderman]

When it turns on it beeps twice then shuts off. Nothin comes up on screen, Fans start running an then shuts off. I have looked inside but i aint 100% wht im doing an as far as i can see everything is connected.

Ok, have a look around on the Motherboard, can you see a brand and model? Finding out what the error beeps are is a good start.

[Stryderman]

Nope cant see anything with brand or model cant take a picture either cos cant fnd lead to mobile

What model/make is the computer?

Try taking the BIOS chip out and putting it back in.

Safe to say you have a faulty part in there...

Maybe the graphics card? The PC is designed to shut down if it finds a fault, lets just say its something like a break in the circuit...

My computer did it a while back... my graphics card broked...

Have a mess around and let me know :) +REP if it fixed :)

We need to know the make and model of the motherboard to find out the error beeps so heh

So why not take parts such as the graphics card out to see if any of them are faulty first?
The computer is designed to shut off if there are faults.

'tis a good idea.

Most PCs wont boot without a graphics card installed of some kind, so leave that in, take all your RAM out apart from one stick, unplug all the drives and any non-standard peripherals and see if it boots.

Of course your computer will boot without a gfx card in. Most standard motherboards come with a built in 64mb gfx port so it will boot ;)

No it won't if there's no graphics card at all.
