Fans (cpu/case) run 1 second then cut off, computer won't start.

Pavilion A6614F, this computer is  stock from the factory.
Orginal problem, fans would spin for 1 second, then cut off.
eliminated "Everything" from the Motherboard, same problem.
This computer was looked at by a computer shop and they couldn't fix it.
It was given to me to repair.
Power Supply checked good, but still tried new 850 w PS I had, same problem.
New Motherboard, (M2N68-LA (NARRA3)) same problem,
New Processor, Phenom 9500, in the new motherboard, same problem.
swap CPUs between Motherboards, changed battery, cleared CMOS,  no help.
this is with nothing plugged into the MB,  no USB, memory, wlan card, keyboard, mouse, "Nothing" but 4 pin cpu power and main board power plug, on/off switch.
It appear to be "shorted", but where, was the Motherboard isolate from the case by the factory, I never found any when I removed the MB.
I've checked the wires from the on/off switch to see if they were raw/shorting out, nothing that I could find.
I find it odd that the fans come on as soon as the power cord is plugged into the PS, and without pushing the start button, but they only spin for a second or two, then everything is dead.
The fan in the 850 watt PS stops spinning as well,  which makes me think it's shorted,  else why would two motherboards/CPU exhibits the same problems,
and what occurred with the original Motherboard that created the problem???
I even tried running the MB outside of the case and on the desk, no luck.
I've builded/repaired more computers than I care to remember, but this one is a major problem,
If this motherboard was not isolated from the case, ( it is not now ) or the on/off switch not bad,
It's possible I could have gotten a bad MB or CPU, but since the symtoms haven't changed, I don't think that is likely.
Any "suggestions",  short of using it for target practice. lol

The original PS is working, light stays on after fans stop spinning.
I'm checking with a friend who may have a MB these CPU will fit in to see if they're working OK,  
and maybe a  CPU  that is known to be working to try in these two MB,
That's about the only way I have of checking the MB and CPUs.
I've made a visual check of all Capacitors, none seems to have "blown their top".
I may not have made it clear in my first post, but the fans start to spin as soon as the power is applied to the PS, and this is without anything connected to the MB, not even the on/off switch, but they still spin for a second or so.
I don't know if this is a characteristic of all AMD MB, or a symptom of the problem.
If it was just a voltage surge to charge up the capacitors, then cut off, I could under stand it,
I mounted the old MB/CPU in another case but got the same results. 
Personally, I'm as Intel man myself, and have a wide varity of intel MB/Sockets to check most of their products,
I've never liked AMD, and finding more justification for that everyday.
I appreciate the suggestions and help, if you have any other suggestion, I'd appreciate them too, I've ran out. LOL
When I do find the problem, and I will, sooner or later, I'll come back and let everyone know, I'd hate to see anyone else in this predicament.
Thanks again.

    Thank you for your detailed troubleshooting attempts.  Very helpful.  Sorry, I cannot read "logs."  My eyes just glass over on those things.  Hopefully, a knowledgeable user will come along shortly to decipher for you.
    I noticed from the pics that your location setting is "untitled."  Have you tried the "Automatic" setting?  Run the diagnostic test?  Results?
    Try the basics first:
       Change your router channel number.  Most times this works & is all you have to do.
    Disconnect & reconnect your modem.  unplug it for about 10 seconds.  Plug it back in.  Do the same for Apple’s routers.  Wait for everything to reboot.
    System Preferences>Network
    Click the Assist Me button.
    In the next window that pops up, click the Diagnostic button & do the necessary.

  • Installed runs for 10 seconds then turns off continues doin it

    i installed firefox 4 it runs for about 10 seconds then turns off i re apply the programe thing runs a short while then turns off i have re installed from different sites several times still no joy

    Which PowerMac is experiencing the issue ? (It's a powermac forum)
    Which Mac OS ?
    and which AirPort software version ? (use Get Info on AirPort Utility)
    Which encryption method are you using on the Mac ? (it's been known to get it wrong)
    ie. WEP 40-bit, WEP 128-bit, WPA, WPA2, WPA2 Personal (open Network Prefs, select AirPort and click Advanced).
    Which encryption method are you using on the WiFi network ? Be exact.
    There's a big difference between WPA, WPA2 and WPA2 Personal (and a few others).
    Does the WiFi device have any filtering on it ? That could be anything from MAC address filtering to only using the wireless N protocol, which may xclude your wireless G (or wireless B) PowerMac.

  • After purchasing an album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out

    i purchased 2 albums off of iTunes and when i went to play the one album 4 of the songs play for a few seconds then cut out.

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

    Have you tried charging it with another known working USB sync cable?  After letting it sit to "charge" for at least 30 minutes, have you tried resetting the device by pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.

  • I cannot sync my iphone 4 to my imac it connects for a few seconds then goes off

    please can someone help me   When i connect my iphone 4 to my imac using bluetooth it pairs up but only lasts for a few seconds then goes off and shows
    not connected  i have tried all sorts of ways  but  without success  why is this happening am i the only one  does anyone know the answer please

    Seems like my problem - I have a new iPhone 4 and it does not want to pair with any device. It seems to connect, and is recognised by my MacBook pro, it shows the code that my Macbook shows, but then says it cannot connect. Neither did it connect to another imac, nor does it connect to my carphone. Have received a replacement (as I had bought the iPhone five days ago), have a new one now, but exactly the same problem. But I cannot alter the bluetooth settings on my iPhone, and restoring does nothing, nor leaving it in the completely unaltered setting, nor switching off all other wireless devices. Does anybody know how to solve this?

    Kazandjaz, Welcome to the fourm!  There is a 99.5% chance that your problem is caused by a failed internal power supply unit (PSU)!  If you have operated it for about 18 months or so, that is the cause.  Take it to your nearest Apple dealer and ask them to check it out.

  • Loaded Creative Suite and now my Final Cut Express HD won't start up

    Loaded Creative Suite on my iMAC 20" and now my Final Cut Express HD won't start up. It wants to load but i only see it for a few seconds then it disappears.
    Is this a scratch disk problem or did CS do this.
    HELP !!!!!!!!

    Welcome to the discussions,
    to repair permissions close all open applications go - utilities - disk utility - select macintosh HD, then click 'repair permissions' - and wait. The shutdown and re-start.
    You need to supply more details about your operating system and hardware in your profile to help us to describe your method for trashing your prefs but check this out:

    or this which primarily deals with fcp but introduces fcp/fce rescue and other useful info:

    also, is your software up to date? Run software update from the apple menu, repairing permissions before and after.
    To log into a different account and try launching FCE from there go to system preferences - accounts - and add a new user. Log into the new account and try to launch fce.
    Ideally, it will help you to use the search function in these forums which can point you in the right direction before needing to post a question which may have come up in discussion before.
    Good luck and post back to let us know if you've had any success.

    Hello Tara-louise,
    I would be concerned too if my MacBook Pro was booting just to the gray screen with the Apple logo on it.  I recommend following the steps in the article below for the issue you are experiencing:

  • When I share video to my macbook it cuts off opening titles and starts vid a few seconds in.  I have tried making titles part of timeline, not appending them, but it does the same either way.  Any advice on how to get it to include opening titles?

    I'm having trouble getting FCPX to share my entire video, it cuts off the opening titles and starts a few seconds in when I share to my MacBook.  It's my first vid so I've done a few daft things like editing the audio after I put the visual together, so had to detach it and re-attach it.  Is this the possible root of my problems? 

    Hi Tom
    Version 10.0.5 FCPX.  Can't send screenshot at present.  However on all three versions of the video I have in Projects there is a shaded area on the left at the start.  Shaded from top to bottom over the credits and sometimes over the first two or three seconds, this extends to the left and fills the project box before the 00.00 counter and the timeline starts. This only appears when I expand the timeline so I can see the clips I've attached.  It's not visible if I just have the timeline and no clips or audio showing.   I think it corresponds to the part the export is cutting off. I'm self-taught from tutorials and handbook and it's all new to me, no editing experience prior to the last two weeks.  
    Couldn't upload to Youtube at all, though it did go to Facebook, but with two audio tracks playing, so export is proving a bit tricky. Also after attempting to share two different versions of the vid an icon has now appeared beside it's name in my Projects next to these two versions showing an audio sign and triangle with exclamation mark.  Another version of the vid has the same icon and freezes the computer when I try to open it and is just a black space where the timeline should be.  I can't even Move To Trash.  I think there may be an audio problem: the main timeline footage should have had audio but was silent, probably a mistake made when it was shot.  So I synched audio.  However, I think there is audio on the main footage but just unavailable to me.  Could be this is messing it up?  I'm clearly doing something wrong!  Also as mentioned, edited the audio after I'd synched it, so had to detach the synched audio and re-attach an edited version.  Could be I went wrong there.  I just highlighted, deleted and attached the new audio.
    Might download an unexpanded version and see if anything's different.  Failing that may go back to scratch, synch edited audio and try again and just not put on start credits.  However, could it just be a bug in the software?  Would re-installing help? 
    Appreciate your help.
    Thanks.

  • IMac starts boot then cuts off

    My iMac was working fine.  I got a message that the memory was almost full then it just cut off.  Now when I try to turn it on, it goes to the white screen, The booting bar comes up, but as it starts to boot, everything just cuts off.

    You may have totally filled your internal HD adn need to move libraries such as you iTunes, iPhoto or iMovie libraries to an external HD. Please attempt to boot into Safe Mode by holding down the Shift key when you hear the startup tone until a progress bar appears. If you can do that then move those libraries to an external HD and then attempt to restart.
