remove the ram and rub the edges with an eraser and clean it so that no dust is present on that

      Hai,

      There are so many reasons for u r prblm.

       1.check the smps by (plug a wire between green and black holes)switch it then the it should run continously.

       2.take the ram from the motherboard and switch it on.it shoud run with a beep sound and now put the ram as same as bfore.

      If u don`t get solution then it should b motherboard prblm(instantly with power IC) get it checked.

Answer 5

After that your PC turned off or still on?

If turned off, it may be problems in motherboard, power supply or overheating processor.

It may be the best to bring it to nearby experienced vendor to ask to repair it.

If still on, it may be the cause of wrong-placed RAM, the un-detection of OS (check the OS and boot up hard drive setting), the damaged OS (reinstall the OS) or hard disk problem.

Answer 6

There can be any one reason out of these reasons

1. SMPS can malfunction or can be dead.

2. RAM problem might have occured.

3. Motherboard may be faulty/short.

When you disconnect SMPS from setup the FAN doesnot turn on...

It is totally normal. when some load is put on the SMPS then it will start working.

Take out the RAM, clean it and refix it.

If it does not work call computer engineer for fault rectification. If you really want to give GMAT Exam then I would suggest you to call Computer Engineer and get the fault rectified..

Answer 7

IT mightbe problem with SMPS or MotherBoard, max problem with SMPS only.If possible try with another SMPS.
