Here is my build:
Core2Q q9450 @ 3.0 Ghz, Primed and temps were low
4x1GB of DDR2 800 RAM, underclocked to DDR2 751 to get 1:1
Radeon 4850 (Asus EAH4850)
ABS Tagan BZ PipeRock 800W PSU
Arctic Cooling 7 w/the thermal paste that came with it.
NZXT Tempest
2x 500GB SATA2 HDs, NOT IN RAID
2x optical drives
So my build has been working perfectly for a little over a month now. I was playing Unreal Tournament 3, when suddenly everything just shut off. I reflexively looked at the PC as it died, and I could swear I saw a white flash in the PSU.
I was really confused. I had no idea what to do. So I unplugged power, and let it sit for an hour. Plugged it back in, and saw the mobo indicator light turn on. When I hit the power button, one of my LEDs and most of the lights on the PSU turned on for like .2 seconds.
The obvious answer would be that I have a bad PSU, but if so why can I power on for a second? And why does the mobo light turn on? What could cause this anyway? I am pretty sure I wasn't overheating. The CPU has never climbed above 58, so that is out of the question.
PLEASE HELP ME!!!
