Hi all hoping someone can help me.
Dell laptop cpu fan starts then stops.
Remove the battery and charger ac adapter power cord from your dell notebook press and hold the power button for 20 seconds to discharge any residual current inside the laptop.
Please release static power and check if the system is working fine follow the steps below.
Eventually i just re installed windows re formatting the hard drive but everything was running slowly after about a minute or two of running windows.
3 disconnect the main 20pin atx power connector from the motherboard the square 4pin atx2 power connector.
Laptop turns on then shuts off.
Replace the battery and charger ac adapter power cord and turn your dell notebook on.
Remove the battery ac adapter and the power cable.
Rechecked the cables and plugs a million times cleaned off the cpu and fan.
2 wear an anti static bacnd or at very least discharge your static by touching a metal surface.
Check the air vents on the pc for dust or debris.
Air vents may be located in various places depending on the pc model.
Switch off the system.
I realised that the cpu fan was.
Bought a psu tester and everything passes on the psu.
Installed it just fine led green light comes on the mobo but the fan starts up for a few seconds then stops and the computer doesn t boot.
Refer to the user manual of your dell pc.
My dell laptop m501r suffered a blue screen and wouldn t reload windows.
After it turns off and on repreatedly for about 30 seconds 4 seconds on 4 seconds off 4 seconds on etc there are 2 short beeps made by the computer.
Was convinced it was the mobo so we bought a new one.
Press and hold down the power button for thirty seconds to drain any excess static power.
Disable processes causing cpu fan to remain constant first launch task manager press windows key x task manager then click the processes tab.
This clears your ram and is like hardware reset.
1 disconnect the power cord from the back of the computer open up the case.
