long story....basically can't get my comp. to work and don't know where to check next.
So I get home from work yesterday do some stuff around the house and all of a sudden I find that my case fans, including the CPU Fan and Video Card, are all NOT running for some reason ..the power supply fan is the only one running. The computer is running, meaning everything on screen is fine, but I pretty much shut it down right away. Turn the switch off, turn it back on, hit the power button .same thing, no fans are spinning except for the power supply fan. Not really sure what is going on I think maybe its a short with the wires (I dont have my cables very nicely laid out, but Ive never had a problem with it until now). I open the case, check connections and what not (I have the case laid on my desk at this point) hit the switch and hit the power button and everything starts up fine so I think.
I go and lift the case to stand it back up .2 seconds after doing so all the fans go out again. Lay it back down, fiddle with wires again .turn it off and on, fans come back up jeez. Anyway, now I stand it back up and the fans stay on .i thinking its fixed now hopefully. Also the whole time Ive been turning the comp off and on the farthest its booted up to is the log in screen ..i just never choose my name because I was too concerned with the case fans.
Well now I choose my name, it starts loading up ..takes a little longer to change to my desktop, finally gets to my desktop (meaning just my background for my desktop) and freezes. No icons, no start button, no taskbar ..just my desktop background picture ..ugh. I try rebooting several times with no success. I lay the case down again, fiddle inside again .turn it on, log into my name and everything loads up fine like theres nothing wrong. At this point its late, I decide to leave it on its side since its working and go to bed. Wake up this morning, its still working fine, decide to stand it back up .bad choice. After rebooting it goes back to just loading to my desktop screen and nothing else. Lay it down nothing.
So now I boot it up in safe mode .everything comes up fine like it should no problems which confuses me more now. I also try a system restore from safe mode but that does nothing. At this point I need to get to work and thats where Im at now. Im really not sure what to try to do next when I get home because I really have no clue what the problem could be .meaning is it an Electrical Short? Hardware problem? Virus?
Id appreciate any suggestions or if you have any questions for me please let me know Ill be checking this post all day for answers. Thanks.
