MB: ASUS Striker Extreme
Graphics Card: EVGA GTS8800
Memory: Ballistix DDR2 800Mhz
Case: Antec Dual power supply
History: System has been running fine for over a year. Lately it has required multiple resets to boot up. Eventually that ended and I get no post. Did some of my own research narrowed it to what I thought was the MB. Worked with ASUS over the phone they had me RMA the MB. Upon return same problem.
Status Que: MB is outside of the case. 1 RAM stick in slot (1) ~tried others. Have tried graphics card in both slots. Checked PS operation using an Antec tester I bought look clean.
Symptoms: No Boot, No Post and after a short while the system self powers down.
I would rma the power supply to antec. I've had no problems getting antec to honor their warranties. Request an rma online. They even send me free parts for my old antec super lanboy when I request them, not even charging for shipping. If your power supply isn't at least 650 watts, I would get a stronger one.

I agree with your comment about ANTEC they are good! There was a issue with the PS when I first did the build a year ago and they did replace the PS for me. At that time I also bought there PS tester so I feel pretty confident that the PS is not the trouble. As for power I have plenty over 1200 W.
