Computer shuts down during bootup - Abit NF-M2SV Socket AM2/ MCP61S/ DDR2-800/ A&V&L/ MATX Motherboard

Which point in the boot up is that? are there any error messages? Can you still boot to safe mode without any problem? Please answer my questions so that I can provide you with a detailed troubleshooting steps.

1. Hold down the power button until the power completely shuts down
2. If Step 1 doesn't work, remove the laptop battery and reinsert it
3. Power on your latop
4. Choose to 'Start Your Comptuer Normally', during bootup

hi sir,

Does it just shuts down or it reboots?
If it shuts down this type of problems can be resolved by scanning the computer for a virus or
using the Windows Repair Disks. During boot if you can hit F8 and use safemode with command and prompt.

1 Type CHKDSK/F then hit enter
2 Press Y then hit Enter then reboot to see if this works.

If it reboots while booting up then.

Other things that might be preventing the computer to boot up most likely is the memory.
Take out the memory put it on a different slot or try a new memory.
Also make sure that the power supply fans are not dirty this prevents the computer to bootup.

this might be a serious error on your mobo,chip failure etc

Try shutting the PC down and rebooting in "Safe" mode. In this mode you can re-set your user accounts etc. On Dell press F12 during bootup to access the boot menu.

One thing you could check is what order your computer is booting from. CD drive hard drive then other. Should be hard drive first. Go into the bios to do that. If you hold the power button down for 5 to 10 seconds the machine should physically shut down rather than unplugg. The unplug thing sounds like its in the power settings. But I've never heard of power settings being connected to bootup except for a password. Anyway a wild guess is check the bios bootup order.

Hi jeff,
I'm afraid most mp3 players warn against keeping the player connected during shutdown and bootup. Your player seems to be in the same state. You could try resetting it (only if you know how to - this could be dangerous) - but don't worry, no data would be erased if you do it right. Otherwise you can take it to a service center and see if they have any suggestions, maybe like formatting.

a bad power supply or a hairline crack in the mobo

Have you tried booting into safe mode? This will also provide a safe video mode. During bootup, press the F8 key. Arrow down to "Safe Mode" and press the enter key. If the monitor still does it after this, chances are it is bad.

try to change the cooling fan mayhbe its the problem that your proccessor is over heated.
