Hi i tried to start my pc today, and well no screen or keyboard or anything, i looked at fan, when pc starts up it spins at normal pace, but then its slows down then after awhile switches off ( heat sink been really hot) now last night pc worked fine no issues, i havent even tried to oc this mother board, all i did was check few settings so it ran at what ever it needed, nothing that i did it was all on auto, been running super but like said last night it was running now it aint,\
System spec.

1x 1gb ddr2 665 ram
2x sata hdd
1x gigabyte ga-8i945g pro
1x pentium D 2.8ghz

How long have you had this system?
Is the PSU the original one and did it come with the case?
Power Supplies can age especially if they are the cheaper ones and running close to their limits. Is it beeping at all when you try to start it up? See no screen displays at all? If it is a heat-related problem for the CPU, then a new heatsink-fan would be the remedy. The Intel processors are pretty good at protecting themselves and go to reduced speed and then shut off before getting damaged. If you have an available PSU that you can swap in that would be a good test for that issue. I have had 2 Antec PSU fail on me in the last 2 years, and that is normally a good brand. First one was still on the 3-year warranty, so got replaced for free. Good warranty, they had no issues with replacing.

i self built this seen im in i.t, mother board is few years old yes, power supply only just started using, i gonna take it into work tomorrow and test it on another lower watt power supply but i know it works off it cause i first double checked to see if it working off that, see i checked the heat sink...... but for awhile i noticed north bridge was very hot, so maybe my mob burnt out.... i got no clue see the system doesnt have speaker so cant even know what beep its doing, so cant say its ram or cpu or nothing

woould faulty powersupply also cause this issue?
