    okay, heres my story. the reason why i havent been on in like 4 forevers is because of my computers death. one day, just before i was about to wipe it, it decided to not turn on. so i figured it was my power supply, because that makes sense an all, and also i was under powering it so i whent out and bought the biggests fancyest crome plated power supply that had ever been conjured and slapped it in there. hooked up fine, checked the specs and all was just dandy, and shiny. buuuuutttt.... it still wont work, it does the same thing. it just turns on for maybe 3 seconds then WHAAMO it goes dead. now i figured id just do some tests swap some shit no big deal right? trial and error till it works. buuuuuutttt.... i have like zero time and when i do get time i got higher prioties then my computer. so im wondering if any of you guys got some ideas that i can start with so i can use my time the most efficently.

    let me know what your thinkin. might be awhile before i can check the replys so be patient bros.

    mother board probably, or the cpu fan is faulty and the mb shuts down because of the heat.

    I think you might just be missing a cable from your PSU to something. It explains it can turn on, then it fails to power the rest of the computer and thus turns off.

    Re-check your connections on video card, motherboard and anything else that needs power.
