For people who are on TS because of a MOBO or processor problem, I would recommend reading this guide:
Step 1: Find computer temperature
First you will need to find your computer temperature, by placing a thermometer inside the case(with the caseopen ). Record the temperature of the MOBO and processor.
Step 2: Replace the powersupply
Even if you believe your MOBO or processor is fried, you may want to try replacing the powersupply(psu). Go to your computer manufacturers website, or call them at a tech support hotline, and ask them what kind of PSU can be used as a replacment. If this works, it so happened that it was your PSU, not your MOBO or processor
If replacing the PSU didn't work...
If your computer is still in warranty, call your computer manufacturer tech support hotline and have them determine the problem. They usually know the answer, but if their suggestion doesn't work, take it to where you bought your computer, if its still under warranty. They sometimes replace your MOBO or processor, whichever is defective.
If you get POST beeps...
Ususally the POST beeps mean there is something wrong with your PSU, MOBO, or Processor. The absolute first thing your going to want to do is make sure your processor fan can spin freely. If it cannot, go to a local circuit city, best buy, or wherever you bought your computer in the first place. They may need to replace the processor(if necessary) or the processor fan. If it is NOT under warranty, it will usually come with a price. You're probably going to need to save up to $400 to have everything replaced or repaired.
This concludes my guide, and if anyone has a problem, especially computer illiterates and newcomers, I strongly recommend reading this guide
