Okay, so I have this problem with a new computer I just built. After finishing connecting all the wires and whatnot, I go to boot up and the computer shuts down part-way up. I can't get the computer to stay on for more than 1 minute before it just shuts down (no restart, just shutdown). I try to enter the BIOS after booting partially, but the system shuts down when going into the BIOS. Sometimes I can get into the BIOS and look around, and then it will just randomly shut down.
I think I've labeled it to either the PSU or the BIOS. I thought it may have been a CPU overheating problem, but there's no way it could overheat that fast (sometimes it would shut down within 10-15 seconds). I'm pretty sure it's not any of the components because I've already tried disconnecting all the components and trying to boot (but with the same results). I've tried removing single sticks of memory (to no avail). I've tried resetting the CMOS, but it doesn't even look like the CMOS can save (when I can get into the BIOS and stay long enough to change something and I go hit 'Save to CMOS' the computer shuts down instead of rebooting). Additionally, every time the computer boots up, it gives the error "CMOS checksum error. Defaults loaded."
Here's the list of components I'm using:
Mobo- Biostar 945G Micro 775SE
CPU- Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 Conroe
Memory-Kingston HyperX 512MB (2 x 256MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533
Case/PSU-JUST PC 708ATXBK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 450W ATX12V P4 SATA Power Supply
HD-Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
(I doubt the other parts matter since they aren't even connected)
Anyone have any ideas?
