clear BIO's VIA Battery or short the pins


.

See if that helps the shut offs, it might help the fan too since fan setting can be set in BIO's
Is it OCed? My gigabyte spins the HSF for a second, then it stops and then spins again. What are your temps in BIOS? I agree, clear CMOS and see if it still does it.

How old is the PSU? And which brand and model is it?
Hey this is Dean's friend, he text me, his PC has done the thing where the HSF revs and no output is displayed so he can't get on at this time.

Has he tried clearing CMOS? Tell him to try with one stick of RAM. If nothing, try the other. Since he got a BSOD, there could be another issue. It could be the PSU, but might as well try.

He gets "Warning CPU has been changed" after trying cmos clear, he also got a checksum error.

He gets CMOS checksum error and Warning CPU has been changed. Then press F1 to continue so he does and then a BSOD after loading of windows.
Hmmm, try to clear CMOS and then boot into safe mode. Is this a custom or an OEM machine?

Well, I suppose it could have been a less-than-perfect data connection with the other hard drive.
