1. Make sure you have all of the power connectors connected. There may be an additional 4-pin P4 connector and another on your video card.
2. Make sure CPU, RAM and cards are all well seated.
3. Frequently failing power supplies deliver less power before they die completely. It may just have enough power to spin the fan. Try another power supply. They are cheaper than a new MB and you can return it if it doesn't fix the problem.

I hope this helps.

Power windows dont work

There is a circuit breaker for power windows .
Power Window System Components
The power window system consists of the following components:
?€¢
Driver Door Switch (DDS)


?€¢
Passenger Door Switch (PDS)


?€¢
Body Control Module (BCM)


?€¢
Rear door power window switches


?€¢
Power window motors in each of the doors


?€¢
PWR WDO Circuit Breaker


Power Window System Controls
The power window system will operate anytime the Retained Accessory Power (RAP) system is active or when the ignition switch is in the ACCY or ON position.
The driver master control switches are integrated into the DDS. When a power window switch is activated in the up or down positions the DDS supplies power and ground to the window motor control circuits to drive the window motor in the required direction. Prior to activating a power window motor the DDS will supply the control circuit with a low current bias voltage in order to determine that a short to ground condition does not exist and during window motor operation the DDS continues to monitor the motor current to verify proper window motor operation.
The DDS controls the passenger window by a serial message to the PDS. When a power window switch is activated in the up or down positions the PDS supplies power and ground to the window motor control circuits to drive the window motor in the required direction. Prior to activating a power window motor the PDS will supply the control circuit with a low current bias voltage in order to determine that a short to ground condition does not exist, and during window motor operation the PDS continues to monitor the motor current to verify proper window motor operation. (Scan tool support is available for this system
Check this circuit breaker
RETAINED ACCSRY PRW BRKR 30 amp. located in the left instrument panel fuse box . if the breaker is good check power B+ at the drivers door switch . connector 1 terminal b yellow wire . Sometimes the wires inside the rubber boot coming from body to door break .

How do I get power

Older passive computer speakers do not need a power supply.
Modern active speakers might use batteries but mostly need a power supply that plugs into the mains power outlet and provides the right voltage, current and polarity the speakers need.

Some low-powered active speakers simply plug into the computer usb.

When I press the power button to turn it on, it lights up green momentarily, then turns off again, and won't power up.

Please check the power supply unit. it is possible that the power output is less and so cut off when the power is activated.
Also it is possible there are errors in the main board and so when the CPU activates the power supply it encounters a SHORT and so cut off as a protection. if so remove main board and connectors to check by disconnection of circuits.

PC start up failer

  1. remove the two rear screws and remove all the cards attached to the main board
  2. unplug all the cables that connect from the drives to the board.
  3. power on the unit
  4. if the unit powers up, install one of the cards you removed and complete step 3
  5. if the system does not power up, the last card or device activated will be your culprit and will need to be replaced or left out.


if you find that your system will not show a bios splash screen with all the other components removed, then you are looking at either a video, or power supply failure. Listen to your system for spinning fans and hdd activity. touch the hdd if you cant hear it when you power up the system, paying close attention to when the drive activates. It should activate almost immediatley, pause, and then run for a short boot period. if nothing, then if may be your power supply. you will not be able to see any lights at all, no light on the motherboard, drives, or power LED is the best indicator of a shot power supply


Good luck, please rate this post

My ups cannot give backup when AC power fails no power supplied to PC then PC is restarted but i replaced a new battery but no result found. What is the solution for this problem ?

It sounds like you have a computer with an Active PFC (Power Factor Correction) Power Supply.

Back-UPS units, when running on battery power, output a Modulated / Stepped Sign Wave. Active PFC Power Supplies are NOT compatible with this pseudo-sign wave power, which is the reason it will not stay running.

You need a Smart-UPS unit, capable of delivering a true sign wave when on battery output.
