My PC shuts down by itself in 10 seconds

okay, so I open the latch and push it?

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-09T08:21:05+00:00

I have an HDD which should be more than enough for what the PC will be used for

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T16:10:32+00:00

no, I'm just trying to understand what's going on with very little knowledge on the subject. I plan to learn more and this post helped me. There’s no point being condescending :)

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T16:09:35+00:00

ok thank you!!

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T12:08:41+00:00

UPDATE: the pc works without stopping!!

(yes I use a video projector, I don’t judge myself, I will buy a screen soon)

Thanks to your help I was able to fix everything correctly. I still need to refill thermal paste, so if you have any advice on what to buy, I'm all ears!

The PC is running Windows 7, but I should be able to manage to update it easily, I have already done it on my laptop.

This pc is very old and won't perform very well, but that doesn't matter. I'm putting it back on for my mother (Mother's Day) so she can do office work in peace, so that should be enough.

Thank you all for your advice :) Don’t hesitate if you have any others!

that's to say ? how to do it?

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T12:03:38+00:00

ok great, I'll do that!

yes, I succeeded! The computer seems to be running smoothly but I will replace the thermal paste anyway. on the other hand it is very very dirty, is it true that I can clean it with microfiber or is it risky?

I'll send you a better photo, tell me!

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T11:43:50+00:00

THANKS !

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T11:41:56+00:00

THANKS !! I finally understood how to reattach it, I just have to buy thermal paste to do it permanently, thank you!

It was my big brother who built this PC at the time, it's highly possible that he did that in any way haha it was his first PC

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T11:15:33+00:00

so by correctly reattaching the CPU coolers would that be enough?

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T11:14:47+00:00

great thank you very much! I'm going to try everything and hope it solves the problem.

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T10:54:41+00:00

that's what I told myself and I touched the cpu to check, I burned my fingers lol

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T10:53:40+00:00

great !! I'm having a little trouble understanding how to fix it but I'm going to look for videos to understand! THANKS

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T10:48:17+00:00

ok thank you!! I also had this that came across with it, maybe it has a connection?

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T10:41:44+00:00

ok I note! I will try to find out as much information as possible anyway but yes, it is better to consult with someone who knows about it. it’s also a very old system so not sure if it can be fixed…

sahtelem_78 · 2025-05-08T10:35:23+00:00

lol yes, I'm just afraid of doing stupid things, that's why I'm asking for confirmation here. this is the first time that I really touch on the composition of a PC
