The fan runs but the computer wont run why?
It might be a bad power supply that only sends the correct voltage type to run a fan but not a mother Bord or hard drive.
Your 96 olds aurora wont start only one click?
Check this stuff: Battery, Battery cables, Starter, A click usually indicates low power supply.
How can you tell if a jumper is on or off?
A jumper is closed (on) if the cover is in place, connecting the two pins that make up the jumper; a jumper is open (off) if the cover is not in place.
My mother boards Led light wont turn on?
Your power supply or motherboard has a problem.
1997 ford f150 wont start?
i had the problem with my 97 f150, the power wire to the computer had melted on the manifold and had to be replaced, check the wire to see if its grounding out
How does UPS investment in IT help it achieve the stategic business objectives described?
Firstly you must know what a UPS is. UPS stands for uninteruptable power supply. This device will ensure that during a power failure your computer hardware wont suddenly turn off which may result in data loss if it does. This device will provide enough power for the computer to safely shut its self down.
Why computer does not run without memory?
because the computer has no where to store it's files. The computer wont even start up without memory.
2000 Nissan will crank but wont start?
my 2000 nissan altima wont start has new radiator and spark plugs the computer test shows no problems it recently overheated
How do you upgrade a power supply?
AnswerIt is fairly easy to upgrade the power supply unit (PSU) of most recent desktop computers.You'll need a screwdriver.* Pop open the case of the computer and check the dimensions of the power supply in the case (or the empty space available if the old power supply has already been removed). Most of the time, you'll find a "ATX 2.0" power supply, also called "ATX with a 24 pin connector", 150 × 86 × 140 mm (5.9 × 3.4 × 5.5 in). I like to take a "before" photograph that shows how everything is connected.* Obtain a new power supply. It needs to (a) fit in your case, (b) has the power rating you need, and ideally (c) has enough connectors for everything already in the box and also everything you plan on adding to the box.* Unplug the computer from all power sources.* Open the case, disconnect all the cables from the power supply to anything else, and take out all the screws holding the power supply in the case.* Pull out the old power supply, insert the new power supply.* Attach the new power supply to the case with the appropriate screws.* Connect the power cables between the power supply and everything that needs power.* This is where I review my "before" photograph, to make sure I didn't miss something.* Close the case, and plug the computer into a UPS connected to mains power.AnswerWhen adding more hard drives to a computer, or upgrading to a higher-powered graphics card, it may be necessary to upgrade the computer's power supply.Answeryes you can install a new power supply. but it wont affect performance what so everAnswerI disagree with the idea that upgrading a power supply doesn't improve performance. It does! Many video cards, hard drives, and assorted peripherals, over the years have had an increase in power consumption. The addition of powered USP ports has further taxed an older style power supply. The AGP architecture has reversed the power needs (4x to 8x) but with the addition of memory, and architectural differences on how memory uses power, the need for a higher wattage power supply is more conducive to a smoother running system. Further supporting this theory, you will find on the motherboard box or video card box, under "system requirements" they set a wattage requirement for the power supply in order to operate with out taxing the rest of the computer parts.
My computer won't turn on so what do i do?
check to see if it is plugged in. If it is does the fans and lights come on but wont load up? if so it most likely is the processor or mother board. If the lights and fan doesn't come on then it is the power supply that it bad.
The car has power but will not start you can pop the clutch and it will start but when you turn the key it wont?

What does the power supply of a computer do?
A power supply's job is to convert an Alternating Current (AC) signal coming from your wall outlet into a usable Direct Current (DC) signal. Simply stated, this process is done by stepping down the input voltage level with a transformer and then rectifying it to convert to DC. Once the DC signal is generated it is used to power all the devices and components of your system. In order to distribute the signal around to every component, many internal or external splitters can be attached to satisfy the number of connected devices. Usually a preset number of leads are provided by manufacturers to make this splitting procedure simple or even unneeded to the end user (as proper voltage values must adhere to specifications). From there, voltage regulation (often in the way of capacitors) is used to prevent your power supply from outputting too much or too little power. This protective mechanism is often called over current protection, over voltage protection, or over power protection. It is always important to ensure that your power supply has built-in regulation capabilities or spikes / sags due to fluctuations from the supply could damage your components. Alternatively, connecting your power supply to an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) unit can greatly eliminate any potential harm due to external conditions on the unit.For computers the power supply is most responsible for providing power to the motherboard, your hard drive, CD drives, expansion cards, etc. In most cases, a single PSU unit (as opposed to a redundant power supply setup where multiple PSUs are cascaded in case one fails) is responsible for powering all parts internal to the system. Some external devices such as keyboards, mice, and external drives may also draw power either directly or indirectly from the power supply. This makes the power supply a critical component to the system. That's why when the power supply fails, your system will no longer operate.
