P965 Platimum shut down for 2 sec before booting

Hi hi,
I noticed a strange problem...
My P965 Plat board will shut down for 2 - 3 sec before booting up window. Meaning, when you pressed the power button to start the PC, the fan will turn for 1 sec then everything stop for awhile and after 2 sec everything back to normal to boot the window.
Have anyone encounted this problem before. Apart from this everything is ok after the boot up.
My build is:
C2D E6400
P965 Platimum
2 GB 667Mhz RAM
250 GB of HDD
XpertVision 7600GS DDR3
Artic cooler pro 7

I would like to know what is going on with this problem
Yesterday i assembled my new system
P965 Platinum
e6600
2 GB 800
2 HDD
1 DVDRW
7600gt
1 floppy
PSU HEC Windmill 385 18A/12V
When i switched on the system i noticed this peculiar behavior and then when the boot screen came up my floppy got fire.(we are talking a lot of smoke and the wire sheathing got melted for about 10cm from the floppy.
I have a suspicion that the floppy short circuited because the pin somehow managed to clip incorrectly although i am not sure because i have done it about 1 million times ( i am a technician and i have assembled a zillion machines) ,probably the floppy input has broken and the floppy power pin slipped.
I very much concerned if this is a grounding issue
I have checked the system afterwards with the same PSU and as far M/B CPU and memory seems to be OK (At least i got into BIOS and they seem to be in place .......one strange thing 800 MHZ ram (4-4-4-12) where shown in Cell menu as 533 MHZ does this mobo has detection problems ????????) ...but the strange switching on-off was there...
If there are groundings issues could these related to the fact that i have used for the first time plastic washer on the screws that screw on the standoffs
I am going to purchase a new 400W enermax liberty ( 12 V1 ->20a , 12 V2 -> 20A ,Combined 30A....my wife is going to kill me.....   )
But if grounding is the issue i have to be certain that it wont kill something more expensive....:(
i am going to try to remove the washers but if this fail i don't know what i would do.....

  • Black screen for 45 secs before boot

    Every time I start my computer, either cold start or a reboot, it takes 15 seconds before I hear the chime, and then it takes another 45 seconds before the grey screen with the Apple logo comes up. At about 43 seconds I hear the fan for my video card turn on. Once it's past that point, everything continues as normal.
    I've only been noticing this for the last week. Perhaps that is because I just started using Boot Camp last week. Before that I only restarted for software updates, but I'm pretty sure this problem is new.
    Here is what I've tried: repaired permissions on my boot drive; pulled each of my three hard drives from the tower, one at a time; reset PRAM; reset SMC; reinstalled factory memory.
    None of these changed anything. Any ideas? I'm assuming it's a hardware problem since pulling the drives didn't change anything. Windows is on a different drive from the Mac OS, so I would think that if it was something with one of the drives, pulling them would have fixed the problem.

    Have you tried running the apple hardware test, this should tell you if you have any issues with the actual hard drives themselves. Also diskwarrior to see if there's anything gone wrong with the OS.

  • HP Probook 4710s shuts down for no reason!

    Hello everyone,
    I own an HP Probook 4710s laptop for about 3 months now.
    Recently I played Call Of Duty MW2 and after a while of playing it just shut down for no reason.
    I played it before on my laptop but it didn`t shut down.
    And just recently I played Age Of Empires 3 and it also shut down.
    It happened twice with Age Of Empires.
    Tho it never happened when I wasn`t playing games I`m still concerned and would appriciate any kind of help or explenation from anyone.
    Thank you.

    Check your Event Viewer logs at the time of the shutdown and look for critical errors and events.  It sounds like a heat problem.
    You might want to check for a bios and/or a video card update here.

  • Maverick Shuts Down For No Reason

    I am tired of Maverick shutting down for no reason. It even does it in Safe Mode. I've tried all the tricks of removing preferences, extension and still it keep shutting down with it's kernel panic screen. I'm the one that's paniced. I can't work in any program, such as Final Cut or Safari for too long as it will shut down. I'm thinking I need to reformat. Great. My least favorite option. But, I need to get all my files off, deauthorize software and hoping that I can get my mail and other contact back.
    Hoping someone might have an answer to avoid reformating.
    I keep sending in these reports to APPLE, 3 to 8 a day. Here is the most recent one.....Hopefully, I can post this before my computer decides to reboot.

    There is no such thing as a "hard reset".
    If basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide fails to resolve the issue, then take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Shutting down for no reason

    So, my ibook's been shutting down for no reason and seemingly random times. The battery is fine, but I noticed that it only shuts down when the power cable is plugged in. It might work fine for hours, and it's never shut off while actively charging (below 98% battery power). So it seems to me that it might be the dc board from what I've read around here on the forums, but I want to try to get confirmation before I try to fix it myself.
    The only other detail about this situation that makes me wonder if it might be something else is that at almost the same time it seems that my power cable for my Western Digital external hard drive has gone out. Could they both be the effects of some kind of power surges? Or is it unrelated and just coincidental? I have everything plugged into a warrantied surge protector strip that should prevent that kind of thing, but I know failures do happen sometimes, or fluctuations in the power levels in a building might cause problems as well.
    I'm probably overthinking all of this, so please help me out as I'm no expert at all. Thanks so much!
    Lydia

    I just ran the PRAM reset, so we'll see how that does.
    I have the problem when nothing except the power cord is plugged in.
    The external is a USB drive with an AC source. The power cord for it acts the same way even when there's no drive attached, the light barely winks on then fades out. When the drive is attached it tries to start then turns off when the adapter (for the drive) turns its light off.
    The power adapter for computer is fine according to all the standards on that page. I replaced it back in December, so it's not been used all that much. The connection looks good and the DC in board port looks fine too.
    The fan comes on without problems and whenever I've checked the temps in istat it seems within normal levels.
    What's the Apple Hardware test? I may have heard of it previously, but seem to drawing a complete blank on it now.
    Also, at this point I'm leaning towards a power surge being the root of my problems. A bulb in an overhead light blew out the same day, I went to replace the bulb and had bought a high wattage bulb then found that the light had 2 bulbs inside and both had blown at the same time. My dad has some background in electronics and when I consulted him about the power surge theory he said it was likely. I went ahead and filed a report with the maker of the surge protector to try to get a claim in and possibly some kind of funds to help pay for whatever repairs are coming.
    Thank you so much for your help and advice, I appreciate it!

  • Mac mini keeps shutting down for no reason

    My mac mini keeps shutting down for no reason. If I try to turn it on right after it shuts down, it won't or I may hear a chine, power light lit up for about 5 seconds and turns off. I have to wait a while before it would turn on again. And sometimes it stays on for 15 min, 2 hrs or 1 full night ... but then the cycle happens again.

    Make sure the power cord is attached firmly to the back of the Mini. If so, try a clean install of Snow Leopard (or whatever version of OS X it came with). If neither of those suggestions works, it's likely a bad power supply, in which case you'll need to take it to an Apple store or call Apple support.

  • The MacBook keeps on shutting down for no reason

    Hi,
    Well my MacBook is acting kind of weird lately. It'll constantly shuts down for no apparent reason and when I do turn it back on, it would turn on but shuts up right after. It does this about 5 times. I do not DL musics, movies and etc on this laptop. I just don't know whats wrong with it.
    Please help

    I've had the exact same experience. About two weeks after getting my Macbook (in November) it started shuting down randomly with no warning. After a quick search on the net I found that this was a well documented and fairly widespread issue with Macbooks.
    There are whole websites dedicated to it including 'autopsy' photos of Macbooks showing detailed images of the, apparently, faulty hardware that causes the problem and the changes after the repairs. It seems the only real fix to the problem is to have Apple replace these bits of the hardware (seems they are now replacing heatsinks and insulating some wires for heat).
    I've updated all the firmware ect. and the guy from Apple Care walked me through resetting the PRAM, but the shutdowns continued the next day...
    If you phone up Apple they seems to imediately recognize that it's a problem and schedule for you to send it in for repairs. That's where I'm at now and I'm hoping it will get done fast. I'm new to Apple (just swiched from a PC) and must say that as a new customer I'm really upset that they would sell me a computer that had a very well known and documented flaw (unforuntely I only found that out after I bought it and found the problem myself). People had been reporting these problems for months before I purchased my computer. Now I suppose my opinion Apple, after having switched from PCs, will be largely based on how well the customer service deals with this issue, their customer relationship management and how fast my Macbook gets repaired and returned.

  • My iPhone 4S will shut down for no reason

    My iPhone 4S will shut down for no reason with plenty of battery life. Why does this happen?

    Hi 123Guardian,
    Welcome to the Support Communities!
    The following article will provide some troubleshooting steps for your iPhone.
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
    If that does not resolve the issue, refer to page 150 in the iPhone User Guide to Reset All Settings:
    iPhone User Guide for iOS 7
    manuals.info.apple.com/MANUALS/1000/MA1565/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    The final troubleshooting step would be to restore your device:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
    Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition. Before restoring:
    Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes.
    Back up your device.
    Transfer and sync content to your computer.
    I hope this information helps ....
    Have a great day!

  • My itunes account shuts down for no reason.  It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and itunes.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a syste restore on my computer, firewall checked and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    My itunes account on windows xp shuts down for no reason.  If even try to delete something from my library it shuts down.   It wont recognize my iphone and there is an issue with network connectivity and I can't connect to the store.  I have already  reinstalled itunes and did a system restore on my computer, firewall has been checked, itunes is ok on firewall and virus scan done.  Ideas??

    Same problem. I can see the itunes store so not a problem with windows firewall. The account is active on my iphone so i know i am not locked out. I can connect the PC to my iphone so i know itunes is working ok. It is just logging into itunes on this pc which doesn't work. Only thing I can think of is that the email address I use for my apple id has been offline for a while and is working again now, I'm wondering whether this has been the case for others who are having this issue?

  • Re: Activation Server shut down for Creative Suite 2, Acrobat 7 and Macromedia products

    Software : Adobe Encore DVD 2.0 / UK, purchased october 24, 2006
    Operating system : Windows XP home edition / SP3  Computer : Pentium 4 / 1,8GHz - 512 MB
    Other software : Adobe Premiere 6.5 / Photoshop Elements 5.0 / QuickTime 7, etc.
    My harddrive crashed and I lost all my software. I had to reinstall. Everything is okay now but when I activate Encore DVD 2.0, I get the message "Activation server shut down for ........."   I searched for the free download (without activating) of the CS 2 Premium, but I cold not find it. I only found the normal CS 2.
    Who can help me.

    If what you want is not at this link, http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/creative-suite-2-activation-end-life.htm l that would indicate that Adobe did not provide a special version

    A Safe Mode boot might help ..
    Startup your Mac in Safe Mode
    A Safe Mode boot takes much longer than a normal boot so be patient.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.
    See if the problem persists.

    Two days ago, I loaded Light Room 6. Today I went back to Light Room 5. LR 6 corrupted an entire folder of images, and caused errors on my Raid 5 causing win 7 to run "Chk Dsk" and fix the errors to the operating system. LR 5 has not shut down for the last 5 hours. LR 6 has a serious bug. Anyone else experiencing this problem. Yesterday I was on tech support, waiting for 3 hours, finally they picked up and informed me there department was closing and someone else would call me on Monday. So, I'm working today and all day Sunday to make up for the down time using LR 6.
    I don't know if the bug exists in the program or the "Creative Cloud.
    Question: Does anyone know why if I bought Light Room 6 [NOT Light Room CC with the monthly rental], I have to enter my serial number if I want to use it?

    Entering the serial number is probably part of the registration process.
    Just out of curiosity, what were you doing on LR6 when the folder of images became corrupted?

  • MBP unexpectedly shuts down for no reason- help!

    MBP unexpectedly shuts down for no reason.
    My MBP has been working fine, until I updated to 10.5. Originally this problem started in Bootcamp running XP, but has now done this once in OS X, just a while ago. There seems to be no difference- even when the psu is plugged in. Just now when it did this again, I pressed the power key and the led on the front blinked really fast, then there was a tone- like it was doing a firmware update (but I did the firmware update months ago!).
    I've done a power reset- taking out the battery and holding the power key down for 20 seconds, which seems to have helped, but then again this problem seems to be rather sporadic, and one can never tell when it is going to happen next.
    Oh yes, there is a mechanical 'click' that sounds when it does it- like a relay click. Is there a relay power related IC on the motherboard?
    Any clues anyone? (I'm sending this exact letter to Apple as well)
    Tom

    It's an interesting thread, but I seem to have the problem even when the cord is plugged in. I did have battery problems when I first got this MBP, but they seemed to settle down once I used the computer a bit more. FWIW, I have now got them mostly while using Bootcamp. BC beta 1.3 was really stable and good. It wasn't until I bought Leopard that this problem started. And again, it's only happened 3 or 4 times now.
    I'll just have to keep saving. I'm sure Apple will wise up to this sooner or later. (Incidently, I haven't been able to send anything to Apple as I can't find their direct contact addie. Can someone 'remind' me? Thanks!
