Device shuts down right away when powered on. [Hardware problem]
Hello everyone, the issue started when I was re-encoding a video file on my PC. It caused the CPU to reach maximum usage and generated excessive heat, reaching temperatures between 85 and 90 degrees Celsius. The machine shut down completely afterward. After some investigation, it seems the faulty PSU was the cause. Although I received a replacement soon after, the problem continues—my new PSU is functioning fine on my parents’ system, but using another CPU didn’t resolve it. I’m quite confident the motherboard is the culprit. Since I can’t afford a new one, I’m considering repairing it myself. My motherboard model is G41T-M7, with an Xeon X5460 socket and a 650M PSU from Rosewill Capstone.
You can follow the steps carefully to achieve the result. Let me know if you need further clarification!
I don't hold any grudges. The setup includes two pins with printed labels indicating CLRCT or CMOS. Jump the pins for ten seconds. You also have the choice to remove the battery. For older systems, replacement is recommended. Once you've completed the jump and reinstalled a fresh battery, check if it functions properly. Gs, usually found in the lower right corner.
It seems I finally gave up after repeatedly trying to power it on, since it doesn’t even start for a fraction of a second anymore. Edit: The CMOS jumper was placed incorrectly, which apparently blocks booting; once corrected, the issue returned. It powers off almost instantly after turning on.
