Alpha R2, won’t boot properly
Hello!
Today when I turned on my computer, something went wrong here’s what happened:
The lights on computer came on normal, fans came on but immediately went to full speed, monitor will not connect, keyboard won’t connect or mouse, computer won’t do anything but sit there with fans on full speed and when I press the power button everything immediately shuts down.
Any help appreciated

something is ovetheating or cmos battery is bad and or power brick is bad.
Get a new power brick. 330w

do not keep trying to turn on you will permanently kill it
Also check heatsinks and fan for deadly dust bunnies.
And if you own a cat that likes to lie on top of the unit you already know what the issue is,
Do not attempt to fix the old power brick if that's the issue.
throw it away.
