Hi,

A high suspect would be the PS. I built a machine last year where the
computer would power up and die within 2 minutes. Powering up again it would
stay on for 5 minutes and then shut off. Again it might go for 8 minutes. A
half an hour of this scenerio it would stay on for the rest of the day. I
substituted a known working PS and threw the suspect into another computer
the next day. Suddenly the computer shut down within a minute.
The guess on my part was a leaking capacitor in the PS unit; as it warms
up retains the current charge better closing the hole. I returned the new PS
to Enlight and they sent me another PS in exchange.

Check mainboard capacitors as well as anything that "plugs in" - cards,
cables, etc.

Hi all,

My PC is a few years old now. It's self-built consisting of a GF3 gfx
card,
I moved house and discovered when I tried to set the PC back up, it
would
power-up momentarily and then power down. No Beep codes were given. I
checked all connections to ensure a cable hadn't come lose.
