this tool set will definitely help. The drive spinning up could be a number of problems and it is most likely right there on the motherboard. This will test the post on the board. that will let you know what part is not doing its job so that the operating system can fully boot up and the computer to actually run.

Mine has booted fine since purchase. Sounds like a power supply problem. Can you check to see if you have a voltage or on/off switch to the power pack on the rear of the pc and/or try a new power cord or surge protector? I don't know the warranty period, but it should be easily determined by looking at your amazon order history and reviewing the write up for this particular purchase.

What do you mean died? What exactly is happening that makes you think its the psu?My msi frozer was defective and the psu was cutting the current to protect itself...

Yes I had the same problem, but I herd mine go out with a loud noise. I shipped it to a authorized repair source. It was 2 years 3 months old. Out of warranty ,this should last much longer. The mother board went out. $140 for a new part. plus shipping both ways. New their $400 I thought it was worth it.

That usually depends on the BIOS/OS... this did not seem to stop spinning with Win 8.1, but then, I only use it for system back ups.

Do not know why there isn't a review option, I suppose that is dependent on the site. I have been using this unit since it was first released by APC and have had no trouble with it. I have an AMD FX-8350 Black with Corsair Dominator1866 DDR3 32gig, an ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z, Sapphire TRI-X R9 290X and all the other crap to run and stay cool. With a 26 inch full HD monitor, surround sound and HP 7500 series printer all running I get between 12 and 22 minute run time depend on the load. More than enough time to save and shut down if I need to. Never had any trouble with this unit. I have owned it for several years.

Do not worry, sounds like you bought a psu to powerful for your system. The fan has zero spin technology only turns on when needed. If your worried about your system check temps if it's boots and powers in powersupply is working correctly

I had a similar thing happen, but it was the power supply that was causing the problem. I'd call a best buy and take the power supply in and have them test it. They did it for free for me.

I've used mine full power for nearly a year now, and there is some signs of oil build-up on the cover. the real issue is the fan bearings failing. actually, the real issue is getting a fully-functional product back from MSI on an RMA. I'm on my 3rd attempt at it, and it all started with a minor inconvenience of the fans not starting, they needed a push to start.

sorry it took so long to get back, just make sure u got all the connectors plugged in and have a good power supply. try to test the power connectors if there not a name brand on something u know that works to rule out a fault power connector

You are awesome! I have been trying like cray to fix this issue and that was the missing key. Finally, it is working perfect for me. Thank you so much, I ca't tell you how frustrated I was trying to figure this out. WOW! Thanks again! ;o) My hero for the day!

I just spent a few minutes trying to find anything on parts for this. the only things I could find were the manual and racks. if you still have any of the paperwork that came with it, see if there is troubleshooting or a support number.

Something is certainly messed up. Few minutes tops.. It could be power supply..jeez... Dead Upon Arrival. I've had good luck with mine though....

Thanks for the answers. One more question, did any of you did a new install? based on the answers it seems that most or all of you just replace an old/broken board with this one. I am actually looking to do a new installation.

1) did you make sure the heat sink was applied properly? what kind of temps are you getting @ bios when you reboot. 2) power supply: how old? what kind of wattage? 3) Have you tried doing any other intensive tasks like gaming or running a test app like SuperPi? Does it shut down then?

Fyi people, if your system is already overheating this isn't going to stop it! You need to open it up, clean it and inspect to ensure your internal fans still work.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand your question. Did your motherboard fail, and if so how long ago did you purchase it?
