We love feedback! Situations that won’t let you use the PC in Normal Mode are when: It runs and responds to your instructions extremely slow, It freezes on a blank screen or a distorted image, It shows pop-ups with warnings or error messages, It shows error messages in white text on a blue or black screen.

From the Start Menu Click the Start button to bring up the menu. Press the Shift key on your keyboard and keep holding it. With the Shift key still held down click Power , then Restart. Release the shift key on your keyboard. With the Shift key still held down, click on Restart. Hold it down until you hear the PC turn off and any lights go out.

Turn the system back on. Repeat this process about three times until you reach the Choose An Option menu. Type ” Control Panel ” in the search bar next to the Windows logo, then select the Control Panel app. Click System and Security. Click System. On the left panel, click Advanced System Settings. Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings. Make sure there is no check mark beside Automatically Restart.

If there is, uncheck it and click OK. Select Hardware and Sound. Select Power Options. If the option is there, click Change settings that are currently unavailable , then under Shutdown settings, uncheck Turn on fast startup recommended. If the option is already unchecked, then leave it as it is. Click Save Changes at the bottom to apply the setting. In these cases, the most recent updates that were installed before your computer started malfunctioning, need to be uninstalled to revert Windows back to a correctly functioning state: Sometimes it may be necessary to uninstall more then just one update.

Access the System Restore utility. Depending on the issue your PC is having, there are different ways to do this: From the Start Menu Type “rstrui” in the search field next to the Windows logo then select the result from the list.

Release the shift key on your keyboard and wait for the PC to restart. On the choose an option screen, select Troubleshoot. Select Advanced Options. Select System Restore. Select Troubleshoot. Is it old, and have an old Power Button, or did you build it all with new parts? That processor is from Vista Era I tried running Windows 7 on one of those E and it was horrible. I suppose Windows 10 uses less cpu but still.

I wonder if the PSU is able to run everything you are running on it? Just as another diagnostic for you, turn off the PC, unplug it and Press the Power Button to dispel all the residual energy. These connections on old pc’s will go bad, and sometimes just unplugging them and re-plugging will fix them. If you think the connections are real dirty then carefully clean them with some Alcohol, then let completely dry before reuse, or blow them off with some canned air.

I now use Windows 10 and it has ruined my life. I want to say that I built this in , so it’s fairly old. I probably should upgrade to a new one!

Also, I cannot replicate this issue on my own, it just happens randomly. I would at least get a little better CPU, that thing is pitiful lol. If it works for you than that’s fine. This seems to verify what you are saying, and again, I would check the Power Button Connection first. In fact, your SSD may not be good anymore.

Posted 21 October – AM. The very first thing you should always do after setting up a system? Have a valid backup image of your drives. Macrium Free. Aomei Backupper. Acronis True Image not free but very good.

I feel the important thing is to try or test a few things to start with. So there must be some definitive hardware failure or bad connection there somewhere. True that! Glad to see you back online! Your ssd’s C: Drive only has 5. Because you only have 4GB of RAM the swap space on this drive will wind up being used when you are running programs which are resource intensive.

A swap file or swap space is a space on a hard disk used as a virtual memory extension of a computer’s RAM. Having a swap file allows your computer’s operating system to utilize the ssd to use its virtual memory to increase the amount of memory. This is a oversimplification, but you should get the idea. Your Seagate has a great deal of space on its two partitions, I would transfer files and applications to this hdd to free up space on your ssd.

You need to test the rail voltages of your PSU. This can be done with the use of a multimeter with a DC Voltage scale. The following method will allow the PSU to run while bypassing the motherboard and other components. The case fan will run which will place a load on the PSU which will produce more accurate voltage readings than just reading from the PSU by itself.

You need to follow the instructions carefully to avoid damage to the components inside the case and keep yourself safe. The motherboard usually initiates the start or the PSU when the power button is pressed. This shorts the two wires from the power switch which send a signal to the PSU to start it. This signal travels back to the PSU via the green wire in the 24 wire connector. Make sure the computer is turned off before going further. With the computer turned off disconnect the power cord from the PSU from the wall receptacle.

Open the side of the case. Important : Before touching any of the components inside the case you need to discharge any static electricity in your body by touch the metal of the inside of the case. It only takes as little as 10Volts to kill integrated circuits like the ones on your RAM modules, the human body can discharge amount of voltage in access of 2K Volts. The PSU has a 24 pin connector which is attached to the motherboard, this needs to be removed from the motherboard.

This connector has a clip on the front side of the connector which needs to be depressed to in order to disconnect the connector from the motherboard. With the connector free you will need to place a jumper between the socket of the green wire there’s only the one in this bundle and any black wire socket. A small piece of wire or a paper clip can be used for this, just make sure the jumper isn’t touching anything else.

With the jumper in place it’s time to turn the computer on. All you need to do is plug the power cord back into the receptacle, this will start the PSU. You will want to set the meter to a 20V DC scale. Minimum To restore the computer to its operational condition unplug the power cord, remove the jumper from the 24 pin connector and reattach it to the motherboard. Plug the PSU back in and the computer can be started with the power button.

I have freed some space on my SSD to above 30 gigs. Now I need to find a multimetter. I don’t have one of those. Posted 21 October – PM. Steelpen2, you don’t really need to Quote all that stuff to relay two lines of text my friend. It will make the Thread much shorter and easier to read for you and others, unless the Quote is needed of course.

I’ve seen the same with Fans etc, the connections on these older machines will fail after a while. But then realize, the pc may not run properly anyhow do to all the Unexpected Power Loss Events.

You could then create yourself a Linux Bootable Operating System to see if the pc will then work properly, and test it for a while with this. None of this, including Malware Scans, should be done until the Power issue is fixed though, otherwise the situation is just getting worse for the SSD.

Posted 23 October – AM. The power button is a momentary switch. This is like the old door bell button which would ring the doorbell and keep ringing as long as the button is pressed. This switch shorts the two pins in the start header which in turn sends a signal to the PSU to start it. The easiest way to test this switch is with a Ohm meter, when the button is pressed the meter should zero out.
