Q6600
ASUS 3870x2
4GB (2x2gb) Adata ddr2 800
the computer just turns on, runs for about 2 seconds then powers down for 3 seconds before repeating until power plug is removed. nothing appears on monitor.
it was working fine a week ago, didnt change any settings before this started happening.
i have already tried clearing the CMOS and trying just one stick of ram at a time (tried each of the slots). no luck.
this board already had the exact same thing happen under exactly the same circumstnces 2 months ago and was RMA'd and returned as 'repaired'.... would rather not have to RMA it again if it cn be avoided.
any suggestions of what can be done to get it working?
also.. i cannot get into the bios or do anything on the computer at all as it restarts well before anything can be done.
also when the PSUs 8 pin plug is rempved from the mobo it doesnt restart but it doesnt do anything else either..
thanks.
