Solve : New Computer, Will Not Stay on for Long?

Answer»

I just built a new COMPUTER. I will list the parts below.

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134012

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813188036

Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103274

HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136075

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817148027

When I first TURN it on, It will stay on for about a minute. If I try again, it will power up and then turn off approx 3 seconds later.

Also I NOTICED that after it turns off, the NUMLOCK key on my keyboard will remain on even though the computer is now off.

Any help would be appreciated.I narrowed it down to the CPU power supply. When the 4 pin is plugged in, it resets every 30 seconds or so, when it is unplugged, it runs continuously. Would this be a problem with the PSU or the motherboard? Thermal paste applied properly ? ?
All MBoard standoffs in place ? ?
Are you using an 8 pin connector on the 4 pin jack ? ?
What BEEPS if any are you getting at Post ? ?its an 8 pin slot but i only have a 4 pin connector. would this be the problem?Quote from: sepulveda on March 19, 2009, 10:53:04 PM
