Hi,
I am new to Tom's Hardware and this one is my first post.
My system specifications are as follows.
Intel i5-3570k with its own cpu cooler
Asrock Z77 Extreme 4
Sapphire AMD 7850 HD OC Edition
Corsair Value Select 4 Gb
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1Tb
Asus DVD/CD Rewritable DRW-24B5ST
Dell 22" Full HD Monitor
Logitech G300 Mouse
Logitech G105 Keyboard

After returning from from 1 months holiday, when i powered on my system, i didn't boot for the first times, then i removed the RAM and placed it again the system booted up with no problem.
After 2 hour of computing the system turned off its own, and when i tried to boot it up, i failed for 4-5 times, again i replaced the RAM in another slot, it booted up.
But after half an hour, it system powered off its own, then i thought there would be a problem of dust, so i de assembled the components and assembled it again, i saw Dr Debug code 00, i cleared the CMOS, i started, but shut down in few seconds, and it kept repeating starting up and shut down of its own.
Now, i removed the mobo and attached only RAM, COU, COOLER, but no code was shown in Dr Debug, the system didn't started at all.
Now my problem is that, this is going on. The system starts up after many attempts, and gives code 00 in first successful start up, then after clearing up CMOS again, it boots. But after few minutes, restarts with a blank screen and no code on Dr Debug. The system not runs successfully even for 2 minutes, this restart and shut down keeps going on
 
Solution
This could be a number of things really so try and eliminate the easy solutions first. Firstly, it could be an overheating problem- this time of year (in most countries) can really increase system temperatures. It's easy and cheap to remove the CPU cooler, clean off the thermal paste and apply new stuff. Make sure you don't apply too much like some people do. It could be that your power supply is failing to provide enough power- you don't mention what size PSU is installed or what make. Cheap PSU's are huge culprits of system failure- they can work fine for some time and then fail after weeks or months. You could try removing some components such as DVD drive, maybe even graphics card (not sure if 3570k has built-in graphics) and see if...

Cheap PSU's are huge culprits of system failure- they can work fine for some time and then fail after weeks or months. You could try removing some components such as DVD drive, maybe even graphics card (not sure if 3570k has built-in graphics) and see if it becomes more stable. If so it could be the PSU is failing and you need a more powerful one. Then if you eliminate these as the problem, I would then look at acquiring some different RAM to try. If you eliminate RAM as a problem then it's looking like it could be your motherboard, and then finally graphics card. Good luck.
