Question My friends pc keeps turning off (please help, none of us know much about pcs)
Hi, your friend's computer shuts down immediately when he attempts to boot. During startup it emits a single beep, pauses for 3-5 seconds, then another beep. One of the fans also turns itself off and back on. Someone might have some advice on what could be causing this issue.
Additional details are required.
Please update your post with complete hardware specifications, operating system information, and power supply details.
Specify the PSU make, model, wattage, age, condition (original to build, new, refurbished, used), and any history of intensive gaming use.
List the disk drive(s) including make, model, capacity, and current usage percentage.
Identify the fan that frequently cycles on and off.
Check for any illuminated LEDs on the motherboard.

Begin by visiting the motherboard manufacturer's website to locate the relevant User Guide or Manual.
Utilize the manual to:
1) Interpret the single beep and its pattern.
2) Assess any lit or unlit LEDs for clues.
3) Conduct a thorough troubleshooting process step by step, verifying each component.
Also, refer to specific component manuals such as GPU, case, and PSU if applicable.
