Failing to boot?

My problem is such:

When I press the power button, the fans kick an leds turn on, for a slpit second before dieing. After I've pressed once, nothing happens until I remove the power cable and plug it back in.

This isn't a new build, its been running solid for a good few years now, an I'm lost for solutions!

At first I thoguht it was the PSU, but after installing a brand new Corsair 650W TX, it's still the same! I've tried with/without memort sticks and Video card but still no luck! The CPU fan is able to spin freely also...

Anymore suggestions?



Spec:
Windows 7 Home x64
Asus M2N-E Sli motherboard
AMD 6000+ CPU/Some huge heatsink/CPU cooler (Massive)
XFX 8800GT 512mB GPU
Seagate and Maxator HDD - 500gb/250gb
Light srcibe optical drive
Corsair 650w TX PSU



Thanks for any suggestions!

Did you clear CMOS/and or remove battery for about 15 minutes. Then try booting again.

I just had FF post code error on my Evga X58, I had to move my video card down one slot, clear cmos and it finally booted.

Or like above poster said, another bad power supply.

Tried the HDD's, still no luck... Il try the CMOS but surely I would have got a message on screen if it was related to that?

Had to resort to putting my PC into the local Computer shop, il update what the problem was when it is resolved!

So just got a call from the PC shop, and low an behold, another faulty power supply!!! I can't believe it!

Crazy, but I believe it. This is why I bought a PSU tester, so it wouldn't drive me nuts anymore.
