Dear List,
Yesterday evening I had a power outage in my office. My workstation lost
power. After the power was back I tried to start it again. The result
was a reboot loop.
If I switch it on I get no screen, no beep. The fans and the disks are
spinning (normal start up sounds). After 5 seconds it switches off and
does the same again. It is for sure a hardware problem.
Any idea what component is broken (motherboard, power supply or RAM)?
Thanks,
Jan
Jan,
I've seen this reboot loop before when my power supply was marginal.
It is likely that your power supply took the brunt of the power
surge when the power failed. Replacing the power supply unit would be
my first suggestion.
Good luck,
