Pretty much as title says....

When I push the power button the pc fires up (fans, lights etc) but switches itself off after about 3 or 4 seconds....doesnt make it as far as POST screen and there are no beep codes.

Its my old system that I built in 2007 which my girlfriends little brother has now inherited for school work and web browsing (specs below)

Just wondered if anyone has encountered this problem before and what the culprit / fix was???

Specs:

AMD FX-62
Asus Crosshair Motherboard
4 Gb corsair xms ram
8800GTX
500Gb HDD
2x DVD Drives
Creative X-fi sound card
Tagan 700w PSU
Thermaltake Tsunami Dream case


Any help is appreciated! ;)
 
check all the psu connections unplug and reset also remove all your usb hubs devices that are not needed and try that as a last resort try reseating the gpu and cpu again all worth a try

Would an incorrectly seated CPU or GPU cause this issue; I thought it would at least make it as far as the POST screen if there was a problem with RAM, GPU or CPU??
