Hello,
I have a 1-week-old custom-built PC that since this morning doesn't post anymore. After power has been turned on, the lights come on for a second and it shuts down again. About 3-4 seconds later, it automatically tries to turn on again, just to switch off again almost immediately. The machine had some quirks the first couple of days but not to this extent. A video of the power-up problems can be seen here:

I had flashed the bios with a new version the day before, but the system booted multiple times without problems thereafter. Attempting to reset the CMOS unfortunately had no effect at this point. Disconnecting all devices, removing the video card and the memory sticks does not influence the behavior of the machine. No error beeps can be heard.
Here is the configuration of the machine:
GA-X48-DS5
Intel Q9450
Gigabyte PSU22-LB G-Power II Pro
Corsair Dominator 2x2GB DDR2-1066 EPP Kit (TWIN2X4096-8500C5DF)
Chieftec GPS-550AB 550W
Seagate 3500320 AS 500GB (2x)
EVGA GF8800GTS
Would appreciate it very much if somebody could give me some advice.
Regards,
Claude
