Ok, so earlier my rig decided to turn itself off while in use (was running a game) ... when i tried to turn it back on nothing happened so i waited 5 mins, tryed again and it powers up... the thing posts and gets into OS and seems to be working so i'm thinking it must have just been a freak occurance, and then it powers off again...
this time i was just browsing the web... again upon trying to switch the comp back on it refuses to power up for 5 then goes back to normal....
Google didn't help...
Also i've had trouble with the HDD's i'm using before (i salvaged them from an old dell) could that be anything to do with it...
It's definitely not overheating....
only thing i can think of is maybe the PSU is on its way out
Specs
MB: asus m4a79xtd-evo am3
RAM: 2GB corsair XMS3 DDR3 1333
HDD: 2x250gb WD caviar black (WD2500JS) (Not in RAID)
GPU: 1GB 5770
CPU: phenom II x4 955
PSU: corsair tx650w
case:CM690/RC690
EDIT : I don't mean to comp takes 5 mins to load up... i mean that after it loses power, the power button doesn't do anything for up to 10 minutes.... starting to think maybe the motherboard not the psu
oh yea also since today sometimes when i try to enter setup at boot said rig will just freakin restart.. like as if i'd hit ctrl+alt+del
..... any insight on this would be great
