Hi all,
I just put together a system for my aunt, but so far it hasn't gone my way.
It boots up, I see the main screen, but after 15 seconds or so, it shuts down.
The 15 seconds isnt' always the case, if I turn it on once again right after it shuts down, it shuts down sooner. Like 10 seconds, then 5 seconds.
I have an ASUS P5N-3 SLI motherboard, e-GeForce 9600GT, Q6600, 4 gigs of G.Skill Ram. 500g hard drive. and a dvd-burner. The case has a 500W power supply. I'm thinking it might be possible its not enough power from power supply to power up the 9600gt?
Here is the case. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129024
I have put together a system together, so im not completely new at this. To the best of my knowledge, everything seems to be correct. I double checked all the wiring, triple checked all the wiring. Reduced ram to just 1 stick. This problem is just very consistent.
I appreciate any help! Thank you!
