Hi, so basically my pc shuts down after being on for about 20 seconds, by the time I get into BIOs or even teh black screen whcih says "normal mode or safe mode" it just shuts down.
Things I have tried:
1. Wires
2. clearing CMOS/resetting BIOS
3. HDD (replaced)
4. PSU (used thermaltake PSU tester all voltages read fine)
5. Thermal Paste (thought maybe heat plus I needed to replace paste anyways)
6. CPU cooler
7. Graphics Cards
Things I dont think is the cause:
1. CPU/Motherboard - I don't think the pc would manage to stay on for at least 20 seconds if either the CPU or Motherboard was dead/broken
Can anyone think of anything else I can try? I am desperate as I don't want to just buy a new pc as I know most of the stuff in this rig still works feels like a waste if I did that.
