- In this video I take you along for the ride as I troubleshoot a gaming computer that was brought into my shop. As it turns out the pc is doing what's known as power cycling. There could be many different reasons for this issue but I show you the steps I take to narrow things down to the culprit. Almost always this is a sign of a hardware problem so let the testing begin. If you are ever in the Savannah GA area stop by my shop and say hello.

I would have really liked to see you test the original mother board and other components with the your test video card in it.
I did check with a known good gpu before finalizing however power cycling is not a symptom of bad gpu. Thanks for commenting.
I'm not sure I understood, but did you check original configuration with the known good GPU? I'm leaning towards bad original GPU only. We did not see you use good GPU on original mobo.
I'm with you on this DDT, would also want to check the PSU with a tester to make sure that isnt what killed the GPU as test GPU had no supplemental power
The original motherboard was stuck power cycling. That isn't something the Video card can cause.
@@silarin9917 Im with you, I would have checked toe power supply is outputting what it's supposted.

@@TimsComputerRepair Love your uploads, generally way better than a lot of other channels.
Reason i suggested checking the PSU was that if it had an issue it could be responsible for destroying multiple parts in the rig with 1 faulty rail.
Thank you for sharing your work with us, sir. I am always learning and grateful. I wish you and your family a Happy New Year! Also, a Happy New Year to everyone. Wish you all great things.
Ian I am always grateful that you comment on my videos. I wish the best to you and yours also.
Not sure if you know this, but when you pop the battery you don't need to jump the cmos header. Mainly only need to jump the header when the battery can't be popped
Greetings Tim, great video! Thanks for sharing. I would've liked seen the test with out video card using on board video then switching the memory modules and lastly using a psu tester. Lucky you you have those spare parts... I still wonder how a MOBO and GPU will go bad at the sametime? Power issue?
Have a Happy New Year Tim !
Thank you so much!!! I found the ram was it and should of known sooner because it was loose.
Thanks for saving my day, found the issue after removing the ram part, just did a cleanup with eraser technique 😁
Glad it helped!
I had the same issue today after cleaning my PC. removed all the rams plugged in one 8 GB RAM first and restarted my PC. it worked and then I plugged all 4 in. Now it's working fine. I might not have plugged in the RAM properly.
I had the same problem: cause that specific Cooler Master cpu cooler. The 4 screws that go in de mainboard are to wide on de bottom and will put pressure on the lanes in the mainboard causing the problem. Try to loosen the 4 screws holding down the cpu cooler. It will work again. Replace with a diff cpu cooler and problem solved. That mainboard is a 100% not faulty
Thanks for commenting.
I just did this and it worked!!! Nothing else was working and this worked like magic wow thank you! Appreciate it so much.
I never thought that
My issue is similar but it's powers up and nothing turns on but the fans and lights for like a minute then stops and starts for a short time again then repeats that forever
Find a fix?
same as me
Wow you saved me. Thanks it was CMOS issue in my system.
Glad it helped
I don’t have a GPU in this PC that keeps power cycling. It only cycles when its on the Home Screen. I checked everything to make sure it’s connected such as the ram. Sometimes I’m not getting a screen on my monitor.
How about an inconsistent pc boot loop? On some days I can use it normally, on some days it won't work
have you got an answer?
Same problem for me😢
update bios
Currently dealing with a similar issue, but was hoping for a bad PSU. Server board with dual Xeons and 64GB of ECC memory. No matter what, it refuses to post.
...any chance you'd take a mail in?
He actually has a website linked at the bottom of the description of the video, there you should find all of the info that you need
Yes! The whole time I was saying into the phone- change the video card! ❤ the vids 😁. What is up with this video cards kicking the bucket, they are not cheap 😕.
Not sure thanks for commenting.
I've been pc gaming and building PC's since around 2007. Never had a single graphics card or motherboard fail. I got into computers when I found a $1500 computer ($4,000 - $5,000 toady's value) in an electronic recycling bin. Brought it home put some heatsink paste on the processor and it worked great for at least 10 years got outdated so I built a new one. Googled a wireless networking issue i'm having and the "This is Rare!" got me interested as well as side tracked.
Thanks for commenting.
The 1st step worked for me thank you
Great!
Great video Tim.
Thanks 👍
Cheers for the Vid Tim ( interesting one ) Seasons Greetings and Happy New Year Sir
Happy new year!
You should have tried the know good gpu to the old mobo.
Taking out my ram worked
Had the same issue, stuck in a boot loop, stupidly but ig fortunely replaced the psu and ssd 🤪 but pulling out ram n gpu and blowing away a lil dust fixed it. Shits been bugging me for like 1 year
get your self a power supply tester i have one and there good but that is the first thing i try but yes you did virtually what i would have done good job i think my power supply tester was only about $20 aust
I have a couple of those. Feel better powering on an actual board. Just me. Thanks for commenting.
We don't live in Oz Kriss.
@@PapaMav im sure they have them over where you are hear its 240v
@@KrissBartlett I was referring to the price my friend. Have a Happy New Year !
It was the ram for me.
NZXT 500 Series choke box, very popular w/the unwashed...
Thanks for commenting.
I'm having the same problem with an old pc. MB: Gigabyte ga-p61-usb3p , i3 3220.
Is it almost always the board failing.
I got some new ram and 1 of the 4 sticks cause power cycle. And when it tried to boot one time the screen went blue with a black line and another thin blue like in the middle. I decided 24gb would work. It did blue-screen on me for the 1st time aswell
I have this issue but every so often after quite a few power cycles it will boot just fine anyone with a idea as to why
Mine was like that for awhile, eventually I reseated the CPU and it stopped happening.
you didn't show us the test if the motherboard was working or not all i did see was the video card isn't working.
Hi mate, how could this possibly happen with let’s say, a brand new PC?
It can happen to any pc at any time. It's electronics. Lots of things can come into play. Power surge is one.
mine run after all ram is unplugged what does that mean
Nothing at all stops my pc from power cycling what do i do
God bless your soul 😂 saved my pc with just the cmos battery step
Great!
question : if my pc went power cycling and gpu fan spins , is it a good sign that my gpu is still good ?
Never assume anything without testing.
Yea BILLS !!
❤
Intel has built in video couldn't have tried that, I think
A miss, like Scott Norwood.
To try another way to see if MB is dead
My PC has been having the same problem. However, when I take out the motherboard battery and reset CMOS, I can turn on my computer again. After an hour or two, it stops and it goes back on power cycling. Is this a motherboard issue?
change cmos batt if ur mobo is old age
why wouldnt you have swapped out the video card prior to assuming it may be a dead motherboard or CPU? thats a lot of diagnostics bypassed, that is a real rookie error right there...you went round all the doors bar that one...the rest of the video was ok but anyone watching will be reliant on you to work through all the proper stages before reaching a decision to remove the CPU or motherboard
just simply removing the battery for about a minute will clear the cmos
Thanks fore the input and thanks for watching.
Yea GIGABYTE and MSI !!
Shit mobos
Shit mobos
Shit mobos
i feel liek your jumping to conclusions with otu testing more to prove yourself wrong ! eacxmple your assuming its the motherboard and video card i can see why you woudl think video card but why think motherboard why not put everything back in the original mobo except the video card and try with the basic one test again see if it responds if so then boot it but then maybe put together a workling set up but different and try that video card in ther other set up because sometimes a pc might have a gpuid exclusion so it thinks this card had somethign go wrong and wont let it work but then you put it in another pc and it works like new and so then you have to start with a diff card or on board video and update drivers and try agin and then once getting ti to re recognize the card you can update evertythjign as a whole
Thanks for watching.
