Today my I ordered some RAM for my friend’s old computer. It is an HP Pavilion 533w, it supports PC2100 ram. The Problem was that when I removed the old RAM and placed the new one something went wrong and I don’t have any idea. The problem I get is that the computer won’t turn on, I hear this high pitched squeel type noise coming from the back near the power supply. It isn’t like a beep sequence, it’s just a continuous high pitched squeal. I can provide photos, I’ve tried searching around on google for solutions to this problem also. So far the only thing I can think of is that I got something loose from the motherboard, but I spent over 3 hours checking if everything was in securely and I sitll can’t figure anything out. I tried placing the old ram back in and it still won’t start up. I’ve tried changing the amount of watch with the red slider on the back. The green light on the back of the computer also stays on. Also when I try to start up the computer, I notice the fans will start to spin for a moment then entirely just stop. Going to show pictures.

PC DIAGNOSTIC 4-Digit CARD Motherboard POST Tester. NOTE: There are ones on eBay with the extra Header Display about the same cost I paid for this one, there are also 6 Digit displays and ones that display words. This is a computer card that you can plug into a PCI or ISA slot on a computer. It will analyse any issues you have during in booting and try to prove feedback about those problems as a four digit Hexadecimal display and LED display. These cards provide a Hexadecimal look up table to try to describe any BIOS/POST problems that may occur during booting the computer. These cars may not work for all computers and the Hexadecimal look up table supplied could be out of date for some computers. These cards can be purchased from eBay, (make sure you get at least the 4 Digit version, I believe there is also a PC Analyser card that tries to display any problems in words on a display) , quite cheaply so could prove to be of some value to some users. Over all I think this particular care could be more suited to older computers. Note only use this card as a rough guide to any reported issues. This card could be of some value to some users if used with knowable of possible problem The Switch button: You can thumb through the code that has gone. If you press the switch, the code pause; if you press the switch again, the code continue It does no harm to the device while you insert PC analyzer in ISA slot wrongly or rightabout I believe the button will allow step through of the …

****FIXED!***** NO MORE HELP NEEDED, THANKS FOR THE INPUT! I basically completely disassembled the PSU unit and then reassembled it as if I were putting in a new one and it all worked. 
THE INITIAL PROBLEM: After a power surge a few months ago, I took my PC to CompUSA to get it “fixed”, I paid $160 to take it home to this. As soon as I turn it on it makes this ridiculously loud noise (seriously, this video doesn’t do the sound justice). I, at first, assumed it was just the fan and tried adjusting its wires to no avail, then I turned it on and checked for loose wires and found the largest bundle of wires that connect to the motherboard gave me a little zap. The PC DOES turn on and function though, despite this eardrum-pounding racket. I really don’t want to take it back to CompUSA again and be robbed, AGAIN (They said it was fixed and working with them, so I clearly broke it by turning it on… right), so any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated. ***I’m posting this video here to post on some PC help forums, I’ll probably take it down after I solve the problem, unless other people have it, too.***

This is what happens when you run the game with a motherboard-integrated graphics card. I’m using an ATi Radeon Xpress 200, which is one of those cards. Pardon my english in the video, as I’m making the sentences up as I go =P No need to leave negative comments about my PC, I already know it sucks, heheh. ALCHEMY ENGINE FOR THE LOSE.

My 4 years old graphic card 8800GTS 512MB, died The motherboared (GIGABYTE GA-P35C-DS3 ) beepd and the screen was black. looking at the motherboard codes (www.comptechdoc.org I found out its a graphic card problem. So I took it to a tech support and they said the same – “The graphics card is dead and there is nothing wrong with the motherboard”. they tried a diffrent graphic card and said it was working (I never checked their card myself). anyhow, I bought a new graphic card (HD6850 1GB) and installed it, The result is what you see in the video – same problem. I dont know what to do, please help me! EDIT after fix: Oh my, what an idiot.. that’s just shows how unexperianced I am There were 2 connectors on the graphic card for the power supply and I connected only one. Thx the guy from HwZone.co.il Forum. Cheers! Now i’ll enjoy my HD6850 1GB on my 32 inch LED TV

(Problem demonstrated at 13:05) Specs: PSU: Corsair 850AX, CPU: Intel core i7 2600K, RAM: 2×4 GB 1600 MHz Corsair Vengeance, HDD: Hitachi 7K3000 (Sata 6Gb/s, 7200 rpm), SSD: Intel 510 SSD (Sata 6Gb/s), VIDEO CARD: Gigabyte 560Ti, MOTHERBOARD: GA-Z68X-UD4-B3, COOLER: Cooler Master V8, CASE: Silverstone “Raven” RV02, OPTICAL DRIVE: Samsung SH-b123l I mention most of them in the video Hey, This is my first build and I’ve connected everything and get to the BIOS screen. Then it shuts off. Then it goes on again, and shuts off at the same place. And so on. I’ve double-checked all cables and the RAMs sit tight, the graphics card is a little loose but the peg snapped so it should be all right, and everything seems fine. To me at least. All standoffs are in and the motherboard is screwed onto them, and I have checked all connections once again. Another thing I forgot to mention is that the graphics card is connected to the current through an ATX-Express cable directly to the power supply, which has 16 pins (I think) at the end to the power supply and 16 in the other. However, they are divided into 6 +2 and 6+2, so I joined 6 and 6 to the graphics card, so that the two 2-pin connectors are left hanging, which I hope is correct? The Molex-cables are arranged in a way so that I have a Molex-chain with all three case-fans into one contact (using a hub that came with the case) and a contact to front-LED. Another similar Molex-chaining without a single connection except for the SSD, and …
