Hi,
back in 2007 i purchased a pre-built Overclocked system from Overclockers.co.uk. Up until now everything has been fine, a month ago i replaced the 8800GTX for a ATI 6850 as the older card had fried. A few weeks ago i started noticing that upon start up i would have to press the power button several times before the PC would boot into windows. Now the Computer only powers on for one second, the fans start the MB light and voltage reading displays 9.9 then 8.2 when it switches off, and then the PC shuts down. I have diagnosed all of the hardware components which all pass without faults, and the PSU fan is spinning. So i'm stuck as to what the problem is, could it be the actual power button? does the Motherboard require a constant power source, or only enough to get the system running. I'm unsure and any help would be very appreciated.
my System spec is:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 GO 2.40GHz Quad Core CPU Overclocked too a minimum of 3.30GHz and beyond. (8/9 x 400MHz - 1600MHz FSB)
- Tuniq Tower 120 Pro Blue LED Intel approved cooler
- Arctic Silver 5 Heatsink compound professionally hand installed by our technicians
- Abit IP35-Pro Intel P35 (Socket LGA775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard
- Award winning Crucial 2GB Ballistix Tracer PC2-8500 CAS5 (2x1GB) Dual Channel Kit (Overclocked at 1000MHz+) (Note when upgrading to 4GB overclock drops to 3.25GHz on CPU)
- 500GB Western Digital 16MB Cache SATA-2 Hard Drive
- ATI 6850 1GB
- Pioneer 112DBK 18x DVD±RW Dual Layer ReWriter (Black)
- Antec NINE HUNDRED Gamers ATX Case
- OCZ 1010W Next Generation Power Supply
