I was just playing test drive, and the pc locked up completely.
So, i reboot, and the pc starts, runs for about 2 seconds, and powers down.
i try again, this time it seems to be normal, gets to the post screen, then powers down. i then cleared the cmos, and left it for 5 minutes, same thing.
now it will just power on for a split second, and switch off. could it be a grounding problem? i will try reaseating the motherboard, it doesnt sound like it is overheating, as the temps were ok before it crashed. I will try disconnecting some things to see if it is the psu, does anyone have any other ideas?
