Comp not booting problem??

Hello all,

I'll try and keep this short, basically last night I used the pc shut it down as normal but this morning I come downstairs to get ready for work and the pc was turning on for 2 or 3 seconds then go off it keeps repeating this it starts to boot but fails to post anything on screen before it goes off.

Now the only overclock I've done is ram about a year ago so I'm thinking it's either my OC has got corrupted or the psu has gone, if it was the psu would it even turn on??

And if it is the OC how do I reset it to default as it won't allow me to get into the bios?

Any help is highly appreciated.

Unplug psu, then remove battery for 10 mins. Or check mobo manual to reset cmos.

Doesn't sound like the power supply to me. Boot cycling like this is usually CMOS based. Follow the advice above.

I think you need to perform a registry cleanup and to remove malware, spyware and viruses, negative elements your computer from time to time.

I had the same problem on Saturday after the latest windows update. only thing that worked for me was to remove th the battery and then I re-flashed the bios once it was cleared.
