Thank You For Posting

The "fan twitch" you're seeing is a nearly certain proof there is a short circuit somewhere. It could be the PSU, it could the the motherboard, or anything directly connected to either or both of them.

You need to reduce your machine to PSU + motherboard (out of the case/on the table) + CPU (with heatsink of course) + one stick of RAM + video card (if there is no integrated graphics). Reset CMOS, re-seat your CPU, cleaning the old and applying a new coat of thermal paste as needed, re-seat RAM and a video card if needed, then try turning the machine on. You can use a screwdriver head to short the power-on pins on the front panel pinout of the motherboard, if it doesn't have a dedicated power-on button on it.

If it still just twitches the CPU heatsink fan, remove graphics card (if you used one), connect a speaker to the front panel pinout (if the board doesn't have an integrated speaker/buzzer on it) and listen for an error code. If you didn't need a video card (have onboard/integrated), then remove the RAM stick and listen for an error code, if the machine even starts.

Reducing this to PSU + motherboard + CPU problem, means you should try a different PSU. If the machine still doesn't spin the fan, your motherboard is shorted somewhere, probably the VRM.

Thank You For Using Flixya and expected to see again

Computer wont boot Evo d510

Choose within this options with regards to your monitor: 1. You could replace your monitor with a new one. 2. Or you could send someone or send it to a technician to repair your monitor.
Boot Up Problem: 1. Try checking the Power Supply Unit (PSU) if it give out 12Voltz. If not you could replace it with new PSU. 2. Check the motherboard if there are some blown out Capacitors. If there is, send it to a technician to replace it. If none, replace your Processor. That is the defective. That causes the boot up problem.
On boot up screen. Of course it will not show a boot up screen because there is a problem on your monitor. And so, there is also a problem on your motherboard (Processor or Capacitor).
Hope this might help. Thanks.

I recently replace the fan in my IBM Thinkpad R52. Ever since, when using the power cord it suddenly shuts down after booting for about 10 seconds. But if I use the battery it boots fine.

I would open the case back up to make sure nothing else got moved around when you installed the new fan. If it was close to where power plugs into the laptop, you might have knocked something loose that could be either stopping the fan and causing heat to shut you down, or causing a short when the fan varies its speed.

Compaq Presario Wont Boot

Hi, my name is ArmyMason, hate to tell you this, but it sounds as if you have a bad Processor. Did you recently experience a bad storm with lightning? Was their a lot of dust on the fan? Lightning could have struck the computer and killed the processor or excessive overheating of the processor could have also been the case. If it was a lightning strike I would contact the insurance agency and have them replace your computer. Reason I think its the processor is because you don't recieve any post and the fan spins for a second and then shuts off.
