1The click could be your hard drive snapping to rest position when power is lost, that part sounds somewhat normal. As to the actual power loss, I'm not sure but it could be overheating - can you check your CPU temperatures from the BIOS? Does it last a shorter time if you turn it back on immediately as opposed to waiting 15 minutes?– BobCommented Mar 20, 2012 at 9:31

I never thought of the click being the harddrive. It takes longer if it's off for a while, that's why I thought of a cooling problem. I'll check if I can see the CPU temprature. Good tip.– ZEDA-NLCommented Mar 20, 2012 at 16:20

The symptoms gone worse. Now when turning the power on, only the power led will come on, but goes black in about halve a second. It's basically same as when I have unplugged the power and the battery is completely exhaused. I'm pretty sure it won't get too hot in 0.5 seconds. I guess it's a power problem after all (?).– ZEDA-NLCommented Mar 21, 2012 at 8:57

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
