I have new build, and when everything boots and is running it will power off as if someone un plugged it. I have tried a low watt video card, and no change. It started freezing on my old system which is why I did the upgrade.
My only thought was the psu is bad.

I would love some ideas, I have tried the normal reseating everthing, and it always passes post.
I don't think the cpu could have overheated since it has never gotten under any real stress. It always crashes when I run a burn in at 100 percent load.
Thanks,
Kenneth

The cpu looked it had a bent pin or two, but still seated fine, and was posting fine before I reset the cmos. If it had bent pins would it still seat? Our is this a return to vendor?
