Strange things happen!

[TheUltimateWarrior]

YEsternight I brought my computer to bones house
We were lanning and we had fun

But It didnt go without prablems

When I connected my computer it wouldnt start!!
IT stopped at Detecting drives...........................

Then I would stop, so thats before I can get in my BIOS or before I can press F8 to start windows in the save mode

When I pulled out the PS and connected it again, it worked.............

After a few hours of playing, It rebooted itself (dont know why!), and guess what
It stopped at detecting drives AGAIn

It was too late for me (7AM) to really think about it, so I just went to bed

NExt day, I bring my computer home again, ANd detecting drives............
I pulled out the PS a few times, but i didnt work,

So I didnt know what to do...

I just disconnected EVERYTHING, cleaning the case and connected everything again

IT started the firts time :)

but I'm scared to reboot my computer now.......
Anyone know whats wrong?

It sounds like to me like it might be the PSU (power supply) is starting to fail. If you are using the same PSU everytime, What's happening is it has a chance to cool off is why it works for a while when you put it back in and then it heats up and starts to fail. Do you have/borrow another one you can try in there just to see for sure? You might take it apart and blow it out and see if it will last a little while longer, But I would just get a new one if this one is starting to fail.

I've seen bad IDE/floppy cables do this, Also the voltage selection switch on the back of the PSU, Make sure it fully to the left or right depending on your needs. Both have happened to me before after moving a computer and drove me :wacko:

I bought this PS just 1 month ago

In the last 6 months, this is my 3rd ps

I dont know why my computer keeps trashing them..

this 1 is much stronger the the last 2

Dont know how strong....

It's hard to say what the problem could have been. Possibly just a loose connection or a mobo screw grounding the board to the case. If it keeps working I wouldn't worry about it.

[OUTLAWS Behind You?]

From what you said, I think transporting loosen some connection. In addition to what Shogun said, I've seen this when the power connection to the floppy wasn't solid. So after you disconnected and reconnected everything, and it works, I'd say you fixed it. Congratulations. :rolleyes:

I will reboot after burning some Cd's with all my important stuff on it

I will tell if it goes wrong again

Maybe it was condensation when you took it outside where it was cold and then inside where it was warm.

[OUTLAWS WHOCARES]

like Machine said.
If even 1 mb screw is loose then there is a strong potential for problems.
