Hi guys,
I think I know what the problem is, but just wanted to get your thoughts first. My old computer died and just stopped working and I thought it was the motherboard. I bought all new components i7 920, Gigabyte EX58 UD5, Corsair Dominator 6GB and decided to use my old 700W OCZ power supply.
When I installed everything the computer first booted up into Windows XP and then suddenly shut off. Now it tries to go into boot, but nothing shows up on screen, then it shuts off. A second time I am able to boot up and it goes into Windows and then after 5 mins it shuts down again.
I have successfully just gone into the BIOS setting where it seems to stay on.
I'm thinking the PSU has gone bad, it's about 4 years old, but I still thought was in good condition.
Any thoughts, before I pluck down some dough on a new PSU?
