Power led flashing

[Barry_Gibb]

Hi everyone!

I've got a preblem with my computer... Since this morning, everytime I boot my computer, it stays on for about 2 minutes, then shuts itself off, with the power led slowly flashing. No component is overheating, and I've got no virus...

I'm running an Asus A7V133 with a 1.2GHz (266 FSB) Thunderbird, a 300W power supply and a 3DFX Voodoo5 AGP, on Windows 2000.

Any ideas, anyone?

Is the CPU fan working? With the power LED flashing it sounds hardware and I think that board has a different header for the suspend LED.
You may want to check the power supply with a volt meter. (red 5v yellow 12v)when it is doing the blinking thing, and look at that fan at the same time. Just open your case before you fire it up. IMHO
