My first new build gaming computer just isn't working. I've checked all of the suggestions off of this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261145-31-perform-steps-posting-post-boot-video-problems - but I've still got problems.
Issues:
Most of the time when I power it up, it doesn't even post and automatically shuts down.
Sometimes it does launch Windows 7, but after 15 minutes at the most, the system shuts off as if someone's pulled the power cord (no warning, no blue screen, just total power off).
Here's the system:
ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AM3+
AMD FX-6100
Patriot Viper Xtreme 4GB (DDR3 1600 MHz)
EVGA GeForce GTX 660 2GB
Western Digital Blue 500GB (7200 RPM, 16MB Cache)
LG 24X DVD Burner
Corsair 430W
Totally new at this and I appreciate any help y'all can give.
Thank you!
