Re: Faulty CPU fan on laptop and sudden shutdown seconds after turning it on. Hardware and Software Hardware by saxmaster49 If you are hearing some beeps followed by a shut down, odds are it is just overheating because the cpu is not being cooled. Check the beep codes first. Re: Faulty CPU fan on laptop and sudden shutdown seconds after turning it on. Hardware and Software Hardware by rubberman I disagree with saxmaster49 about this, if as you say, it happens immediately after turning the system on. In that case, it has not had time to heat up. Yes, a non-functional fan will cause the system to over-heat. That may have been the root cause of the problem. What you are experiencing now is likely some other component failure that the … Re: Faulty CPU fan on laptop and sudden shutdown seconds after turning it on. Hardware and Software Hardware by saxmaster49 In response to rubberman, thats why I said "If you are hearing beeps". I have personally run into a situation where, because of lack of cooling, the system would post, beep then shut down within seconds. Re: Faulty CPU fan on laptop and sudden shutdown seconds after turning it on. Hardware and Software Hardware by rubberman Back achya... :-) I don't agree that "hearing beeps" and (almost) immediate shutdown may indicate overheating, but contend that previous overheating may have caused a component to fail, which is the root cause of the symptoms observed. In any case, we are in agreement that overheating was probably the root cause of this problem. :-) At … Re: Faulty CPU fan on laptop and sudden shutdown seconds after turning it on. Hardware and Software Hardware by saxmaster49 Ah, I am just an EE. I actually tested this out a couple months ago with a single core pentium 4 and just a heat sink to see what would happen. I got 4-5 seconds past post before an overheat beep code and shutdown. Might have been some safety factor built into the motherboard, I will check it out. You are probably right that it is something … Re: Faulty CPU fan on laptop and sudden shutdown seconds after turning it on. Hardware and Software Hardware by rubberman I agree that 9/10 times that fixing the overheating addresses the problem (it worked for me when my overheating memory sticks were causing system problems), but as I said, if the initial overheating caused additional component failure, then all bets are off! :-) Anyway, thanks for your feedback saxmaster.

Hardware and Software Hardware by digitalmineral Recently, I began working at a small graphics design firm, where I was unluckily given an old 19 or 20 inch monitor (SuperScan Mc 801 RasterOps) which is clearly ailing.

Hardware and Software Hardware by TallCool1 [QUOTE=digitalmineral]The problem is that there are horizontal lines radiating from the sides of the monitor into the center. They are stronger at the edges and they are slightly warped, like wrapping around the curvature of the monitor (which has a greater surface curve than newer flat panel CRTs).
