1.	Solve : Help with boot power loss?
Answer» Hi i was wondering if anyone COULD help a little. I just started building a new machine. With an asus sli mainboard. When i try and boot the machine the fans run but when the vidoe trys to initialize it shuts down. Ive tried in both pci-e slots. tried reseating the memory. Using one stick. CPU cooler is properly installed. new power supply. im at a loss help please Asus P5nd2-sli mainboard p4 3.4ghz 430 watt thermaltake evga 7600gt 256meg video 1 gig 2 STICKS elixer 667 memoryI'm gonna jump in and see if I can't help you Honestly, that 430W power supply only runs at 400W on average, 430 would be its peak performance. With the specs you gave it may seems your machine is eating all of its power; thus causing the shutdown. Though, lets wait for a more experienced member to contribute and correct me if im wrong Did you remember to use Thermal COMPOUND when you installed the CPU ? ?
