Hi
I have a desktop from a friend. It turns on the fans come on and turns off, and then repeats it again and again. I was trying to troubleshoot it and laid flat it worked fine....after a while I set it upright and then it does not work again... lay it flat it didn't work but after couple of tries it works again.

SO I suspect that something is shorting the mobo. ...or something inside the PSU (Corsair GS600) is weird...

Can you suggest what should I take a look at closely to figure out where the problem is?
 
Solution
I would do this.

Open the enclosure and disconnect and reconnect everything you can. This includes...power cords, data cables, reseat cards etc. If you're feeling up to it....uninstall and reinstall the processor too...but I would wait on this to see if you have an effect with the other stuff.
