This build is about a year old, it has just started this behavior. It boots, but only lasts for a couple of minutes. It will boot to windows, or just to bios, and just the same after about 2-3 minutes is shuts down. I initially thought the CPU must be overheating, but when I went opened the case to troubleshoot, I notice it's the memOK led that's on.
I've juggled the memory sticks, in various slots, and the behavior is always the same.
So I'm narrowing in on a Motherboard issue, but then I wonder what would be failing on the mobo to cause it to fail in that way? I hate to go through a mobo replacement for that not to be the culprit.
(Additionally, there is a graphics card in play as the mobo doesn't have any video out, but I pulled out the graphics card and booted it to bios, let it sit for a few minutes and it died, memOK again.)
Any thoughts?
