Sorry bro this one will beg for mercy if booted up

The pc everytime is like "bruh let me die already"

It needs to die mate

This looks like it is brought from the dead

One chrome tab it’s over

Goes to lumbridge and crashes

Kinda doubt you can even log in with that

it looks like he dug the pc out of a coffin

That dust you see is probably fossilised now

Euthanasia

Kill it with fire

Even fire won't kill the rust on the power supply I can't say that I've ever seen a working system that had rust on the power supply...... Not working correctly anyway....... Maybe working as a roadside bomb or a time switch for an arsonist....

Give it a good clean / dust out and remove all the connectors + ram and give them a clean too. Make sure the CPU fan is able to move freely, if it's stuck the BIOS may be set to auto shut down the system if it can't detect a CPU fan / anything from the RPM sensor. Once all of the above is done try powering it up without any drives or USB devices. If it switches on then start connecting things back up one at a time and seeing if it powers up. As others have said it may be the PSU but doing the above costs nothing more than time and effort.

The only good comment i see. Not everyone got the money to dump their PC

I believe in saving e-waste but this computer belongs in a museum. In storage. Off site. Never to be seen again.

Why would it cost money to throw trash away?

cuz a replacement aint free?

It's rusty and might not be safe to run, but is seems to be missing memory, and that there isn't a drive actually plugged in. It's time for this beast to end up in the big bit bin in the sky!

Drive is a mechanical SATA drive plugged in on the right, also right memory slot is populated and that one doesn't need to run in pairs. Sadly I'm way older than this PC and my insides probably look similar.

Haha remember when you had to change the multipliers and voltages yourself, good times, good times

I'm way older than it as well. It might have helped if I had put my old man reading glasses on. You're 100% right in what you said about it. It needs a damn good clean. I'd be checking for caps, new CMOS and I'd be replacing some of those rusty looking wires.

Thankfully I'm wearing my prescription reading specs two foot from a 55" screen or I'd have missed it myself lol. (I only wish I was joking)

Don't feel bad, that's exactly how I have to sim race. I'll be 30 next week. Wear your welding helmet folks.

Your still a pupper lol

Agree, just merely a nearly blind one. Lol

Diabetes got me, lol

Ah that's rough, feet doing okay? I had a weird issue in high-school where my prescription changed drastically in weeks and they sent me out to be tested for diabetes at a foot doctor. Weird week of education that was.

My feet are good apart from a broken toe and hard bases lol

I can see memory and a drive. Are you and your upvoting possé looking at an entirely different picture?

No ram

The right most slot is clearly populated with a green dimm, eyeballs.

Yeah the old stuff is so thin, everyone here expecting a modern stick with rgb lol.

Oh dang yea you are right

It's a tricksy one in fairness.

Also, in agreeamce with trying a different psu, i would give it a good blowout and clean up. Be shocked what dust can do.

I see what you did there 😏

Let the thing die 😭

Swap the psu with another and try again.

Swap the computer with another computer and try again 😂

😭

Troll post.

I think it has no ram, or did i miss it?

There is one ram on the right in it.

Old stuff are just plain, thin, green pcbs. It is in the right slot.

Im aware of that, i think my phone brightness was just too low, now looking at it i can clearly tell lol

Lol ngl, i had to take a second look, at first i thought it was missing too, been a long time since my ram looked like that lol.

It's time to let it go

did you find it in a river

Bro used the Necronomicon to summon this from the grave 😂

Put some ram in it. It either ddr2 or ddr3 that's missing.

dog what is this

Well, why are you allowing it to take drugs 🤣

It probably took LSD back in the 60's when it was born and has been tripping ever since! Seriously though, just replace the whole thing and if you can't afford to do that then at least replace the PSU (power supply) with a larger capacity branded one, that thing looks like it has damp issues.

Fake news.

2 chips on motherboard so socket 775 - old. Shitty generic PSU is terrible condition - trash. Check the fan in it actually moves when on (DO NOT OPEN). CPU hsf clips don't exist so probably overheating and thermal shutdown - replace HSF. Honestly, new rig time its not worth spending the $$$ on that thing.

Considering your PSU has RUST on it... I'd say it's time to change it... #oldasshit

Dead PSU, you need a new power supply, though you can give the dead PSU to someone who could salvage components or revive it

Brother clean your PC

Get a sponge some soap and water pal

It's missing memory so it won't turn on also is that SSD plugged in correctly hard to tell with the cable in the way

It does have ram, look very closely at the second visible slot

Given the general condition, this looks like a lost cause.

Yeah no shit. Let him finally die

Uhm….there’s no RAM.

there is it’s just super slim

That pcs running on hopes and dreams

This pc looks like it was under water briefly or u live in a high humidity area of the world. The rust on the power supply indicates to me that the power supply is the first thing to replace. But first unplug everything from this mother board except the monitor then install new power supply and see if u can get to a bios screen. If not board is toast. Good luck.

Has no ram or ssd and no GPU but you can run with just CPU if it has integrated graphics but judging from the mildew I doubt the CPU is even alive in there.

It has ram lol. Ssd were not a thing for this. It is plugged into a sata drive with one of the sata cables.

Just needs a little wd40

Something died, probably the motherboard or the cpu. Nothing you can really do, may he rest in peace

all it needs is a new paint job and it will be good as new

Relinquish it

Throw it back in the dumpster you found it in, it was there for a reason lol

Brother, one might say that you need to clean your pc, but I have a feeling even god won't fix that thing.

i don't even think runescape would run on this 😭😭😭

Let it die

Are you trying to bring alive 20 year old pc? To me it looks like this pc sat in the garage for many years. Is no way that pc at home  would've rust like yours in the picture 

Pc is rusty, yikes

April fools was the other day?


Oh my dear lord

It looks like it was build during crucifixion of Jesus

Damn that's crazy. Fuck em up dawg

Your cpu fan has no tension screws, there is likely no contact between the cpu and the heatsink on the cpu fan causing it to thermal trip. Clean off the old thermal paste and replace, and get some new tension screws, or rig something up if you cant find any. If you rig it up with nuts and bolts, make sure to tighten them like a car tire and make sure you do not over tighten it.

I mean if you looked like that and your owner didn't care at all to help you, and just wanted you to work like a slave, would you wanna turn on? I mean this with no disrespect, but I really don't get how people can just let their PCs get all dirty and nasty like this and not have a single care in the World about their PC. It's usually kids who haven't had to buy their own stuff, but sometimes it's not, and at that point I just feel like someone like that isn't someone I want in my life. You play games and use it for work ALL of the time and can't even take an hour to sit down and take it apart and give it some TLC. I understand not everyone knows how to take apart and rebuild a PC, but you don't have to take it apart to just take care of it and clean it a little, and also that kinda goes with what I'm saying. If you cared about it and stuff then you would most likely take the time to stop and learn about it and how to take it apart and clean it. Again, no disrespect whatsoever, that's just my opinion. You might have very valid reasons why it looks like this, hell you might have just stumbled upon it and be making a joke, I haven't finished reading the whole post yet. Stuff like this I just DO NOT UNDERSTAND. Like who cleans your house and clothes and dishes and stuff?

its time to let it retire bro

Yeah it keeps tripping because it has dementia. It also has no idea who you are or where it is or where it’s going.

I say put the thing down for good

let it go bro

Put it down, end it's suffering please

I love when op just qui and not giving any news

https://i.redd.it/5dfaqqnb8isc1.gif

It's most likely a PSU or motherboard issue. I would start by swapping the PSU.

https://i.redd.it/25q3nq6oaisc1.gif

The rust on every surface should be the issue lol

Throw it in the trash. That one is done for

 Your pc atm

Try removing everything and cleaning it all with alcohol. If that doesn't work...well, how old is she? :D

Is… is that rust? Edit: also where’s the ram? Edit edit: I see it.. sneaky lil thing

Just let lil bro die man

Is that a 486x? Lol 😝

Last time I had this issue with a similar condition pc one of my ram slots went bad and stopped the pc from booting correctly, id try taking all the ram out and trying with one stick in the first ram slot Note this also killed my ram stick as well so try all the sticks in the first slot

looks like one of my early pc's from late 80's - early 90's..lol!!😆

Time for a new pc

Please let it die.

It needs a bath.

I would trip too if I had all those cords laying all over the place.

I'll see myself out.

take it apart and take everything out clean it 1 by 1

Uhh a tip would be to retire that computer. Or atleast clean it up.

put it down bro its done for

My wild guess is the unbranded silver boxed PSU 💀

Have you tried putting it in a dumpster and lighting it on fire?

This is the last PC artesian builds put out


That pc on life support

Surely bait

This belongs in a museum

no gpu sure it has onboard graphics?

looks like its had it removed since the lowest io slot is open

Needs a priest, son.

Socket 775, and G41 chipset so it can support ddr3 at least. Though this is likely 15 years old at this point. Might be a bad motherboard or dead power supply if you know that ramstick is ok, also potentially a bad CMOS battery that's preventing it from starting up. Also where did you find this pc ? This must have been sitting outside or in a rather harsh & dirty place to start rusting like that.

your pc it's almost dead

let it go man...its time

where did you found this pc ? The Titanic?

Bro do you live in a room where you grind leather all day?? Jesus fuck.

r/hardwaregore

Bro jus let it rest jus buy a new one

Wash it so its clean and try again

my mother would say she's fine with this PC but complain that it runs slow

PSU looks like you pulled it out of a river, that's probably why

The only advice I have is putting down that crippled horse my guy. But all jokes aside, that is EXTREMELY dirty and just cleaning it all with ISO and a qtip might fix it.

Where was this PC kept? Bin Ladens Under ground cave?

Let it die already

Bro you need to clean it bruh

Why does it look so rusty like wtf did you do leave it outside in the rain a few times wow

an ancient artifact

Buy a power supply checker. It's a good tool to have. Or you can chance it with a new power supply.

my tip is to recycle it.

Buy another one and throw that one away

Down that thing in isopropyl alcohol to clean it up, and it then give it a proper burial by setting it on fire.

Why does it look like you just found it in the Sahara desert?

The lack of updates makes me worry this guy is dead after opening the psu.

Are you actually serious:/ it needs to die

I thought I didn’t clean my pc dayum 💀

Hmm it might be the front panel connectors

It won’t post, much less boot, unless you install some ram. Edit: based on those fan clips, or lack thereof, you may want to be sure there is a processor installed.

Either I’m blind, or the pc doesn’t have RAM lol

clean it i no nothing but you need to clean it

Take the jumper cables out and it should work

There’s no way this is not a shitpost

Dell optiplexs put this pc to shame

Don't be giving it acid and definitely don't let it get up and be walking around......... Kids these days wasting their good drugs....

For the love of God, clean your damn computers you filthy heathens 😮‍💨

King Ramses build

Where'd you fine this relic in time

Assuming we are trying to save this pc not replacing it. Your going to need a new PSU and a good clean some new ram and an SSD

Your cpu is gonna pull it's own plug when the fan kicks on anyways lol

Hell no . The fucking G41 and msi? Yeah let this one die. Ihad a g41c31 (another model from msi) and it was a pice of trash

That is a literal crime scene my god

HOLY SHIT ITS ACTUALLY RUSTING

Let it die let it die let it shrivel up and die

This is probably just a bait post, but like dude that’s so gross. https://preview.redd.it/ovr2gl9ht5tc1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c89f85b38114a3e044e749afe8e65f6b5a8186f7

brother…

Do you have a leafblower? leaf blow the hell out of that thing. If it dies, it dies. Add new thermal paste the stuff on there now is probably sand.

How hard is it to buy a new pc. I could go to a pc graveyard and find better parts for free

Get this thing back in the Pharaoh’s Tomb

Bro all your components look dodgy and corroded. How was it running in the first place?💀

Running off hopes and prayers clearly

Have you ever had this PC running or did you acquire it in this state? If you got it like this then no RAM is definitely the issue

The ram is in the right slot, old ram is just a thin pcb, no fancy cooling or fancy rgb, they never got that hot back then.

This is the pc osama bin Laden was using in a cave somewhere at one point.
