IP35 HX520 problem.. PLEASE HELP

swills · 25 Dec 2007 at 17:09

Please help guys. Just built my new system. I have Q6600, abit IP35, Corsair HX520W, GeIL 2gb 6400, radeon hd 3850, WD 500gb HD. When i press the power on my systm it starts for literally a second and then goes off again. This repeats itself every 4/5 seconds until i turn the power off at the back?

I have chcked the power cords and as far as i can tell everthing is fully connected

any ideas guys? any help is much appreciated.

Cheers guys, just managed to get it started but it then stopped whilst in the BIOS. Think i m just going to have to swap my psu, any suggestions for one with a similar price

Thanks

Thanks, just tried that, it starts up but i left the comp in the BIOS for five minutes and it still just turned itself off

Hi guys, just to let you know for future reference it was a faulty motherboard that was shorting out. I tried a new PSU and the same problem occurred, RMA'd the ip35 and got an Asus p5k instead and have had no problems with the corsair hx520w.

Thanks for all your help

Glad that it's all working for you. The process of elimination is a stressful procedure and even more so when it's a new rig .

After reading copious amounts of forum threads on various sites i think its fair to say its an intermittent problem, however i didnt want to risk it so just got the p5k instead
