Hi,
I've just booted my new pc a few times, and I got a problem.
It starts fine, I see the picture from the motherboard and then it turns in that black screen where u see how fast your CPU is and how many RAM you got. It looks fine. It stays like that for a few seconds (u know, when ur supposed to hit a button to go into bios mode) and then, it suddenly shuts down.
hmmm, strange.
I boot it up again, and this time it only works for a much smaller amount of time!
hmmmm
I wait for a longer time, try again, and it shuts itself down at around the time of the first time it shutted down.
Since my PSU is rather low for my high-end system, I took out the geforce 8800 GTS and attached my screen to the onboard graphical thingy.
nothing changes. it still shut itself down, and when I immediatly try again, it shuts down even faster..
What is the likely cause?
System:
cpu: intel dual core E6600 (2.4 GHz)
motherboard: Asus P5B-V
graphics card: MSI Geforce 8800 GTS (but this doesn't matter, as I took it out)
2 72 GB Raptor hard drives (I tried with only 1, same problem)
2 GB PATRIOT PC 6400 RAM (800 Mhz, dual channel, 5-5-5-15)
