PC shutsdown after 2-3 seconds during boot.
Hi All
I have a self build PC as per my specs and when I first switched it on the PC booted for 2-3 secs, then shut down and cycled twice. Afterwards it then settled down for about 6 months - no probs at all.
However just before Christmas, it started to do the same again - sometimes trying to start up to 16 times and then it would eventually boot. I have no other problems apart from when playing BF4 I getting the annoying Switch to Windows basic Colour warning message.
However, after Christmas it won't now boot at all. I've ordered a POST dig card but this isn't showing any error code, nor is the MB displaying a code either.
When checking the MB over and trying various things, I left the 8 pin power connector disconnected and tried booting. Everything booted, until it complained about the power supply being disconnected - as soon as I reconnected it, the problem returned.
I'm hoping this is a PSU issue although, the MB is still under warranty. Any ideas?
