My new computer has been working for a long time now about 2-3 maybe 4 weeks.

But today I was watching a movie in full screen and when i exited full screen mode, my computer randomly shut down. I hit the power button again, it started to turn on (CPU FAN started working, vid card fan started spinning,) but then it shuts down again.

When i turn it on, it stays on for about 2 seconds then turns back off.
Im starting to think its the power supply or something? I have a Rhino Panther 450W power supply. I read some forums and read that my power supply needs to match with my motherboard...

I kept trying to turn it on but now it wont even power on for 1 second. Nothing.

here are my system specs:

Wizard Mid Tower Ultra ATX Case
ECS NFORCE 6M 520 LE DDR2 Motherboard
OCZ SE 4GB DDR2 RAM
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+
500 GB Sata Hard Drive
nVidia GeForce 8500GT DDR2 PCI EXPRESS X16



Any help would be greaty appreciated.
 
Check all of your connections and try resetting the BIOS by removing the battery on the motherboard for 30 seconds or so and then pop it back in and try booting.
 
By removing the battery? How? Where are batteries located on the motherboard?
I thought only laptops have batteries...lol

Sorry im a noob to all this tech stuff

Look around, it kinda looks like a watch battery.
