My HP pavilion 533w only tries to turn on when the on-off button is pushed. The fan only runs for a few seconds and not always the same length of time. The monitor never comes on?

    no pins near the battery, 2 sets of three pins-one near cpu cable, one near fan plug- none with a jumper?
    Power up has changed some- it now does not keep trying
    to power up when power button is pushed. The fans run
    about one second each time power button is pushed, than shuts down.
    The mother board is an ASUSTeK P4G533LA. jjerol

Open the desktop, and re-seat the memory. Let me know if that works.

    Look for the battery on the motherboard...there's usually a red or black plastic jumper nearby. There will be three pins. Just switch the plastic to the other two pins, wait 10 seconds and then put it back where it was.

    OK, were you able to find the battery on the motherboard. Usually they look like watch batteries a little bit bigger than a nickel.

    When you find it pull the power cord out, then CAREFULLY remove the battery. Usually I use a small flat head to push the clips aside so that it pops out.

    Once it's out just press and hold down the power button to help clear any juice left. Wait about 3 minutes and put everything back. This will set the bios back to all the default settings.

Hp pavilion dv6000 turns onn and off

I had a similar problem with my pavilion. They have a cooling fan design that allows for lint buildup and subsequent overheating. You could try using a compressed air and blowing out the exhaust vent area for the fans.

HP Pavilion 533w on hard boot finds the HDD on softboot (restart) it does not.

Check to see if you're running the latest bios revision. It's on HP's support page for your model.

PC shuts down while running Windows

Attempt to boot the machine in Safe-Mode.

While powering up continuously hit F8.

You will get a Boot Option Menu, Select Safe-Mode boot

If you can get into safe-mode I would suggest to try doing an online scan, as it sounds like your issue could be related to malware:

Case fan for pavilion 533w

well the fan sizes usually go like this.
80mm
92mm
120mm

If 80mm is too small then its got to be 92mm or 120mm but 120mm are usually reserved for the more expensive pcs and\or servers.

My hypothesis is that its 92mm
www.newegg.com has extremly cheap fans try them first.

Hope this helps

Thanks for reading!
