M2-ATX power issue when car start

Alfredbra · 12-21-2006, 07:19 AM

straight to the point. The computer will loose power and restart/reboot when I try to start the car.

running:

2800 AMD Sempron
512mb ram
40gb hdd
micro atx m/b

Im a bit sus on the battery, perhaps it could be on its way out. However i understand that the m2-atx is supposed to be prone to engine cranks?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

The M2ATX will survive an engine crank.
Your battery could be an issue, certainly. In fact, it's a very likely cause.

Hi, wow that was a quick response. Yeah i searched through this whole forum and couldnt find really anything relating to my issue. I will try a new battery and see how i go with that.

Sorry for my english

I am from KG.
Ok - here is two ways:
1. - Yours battery isn't conditional, and when you try to start your car, the battery can't give enough power to starter and M2! Then you must charge battery

or just change this battery - take a new one

2. Maby Yours carpc needs more powerfull power supply, then use another psu

I think, you have the 1-st way...
Good Luck
