Problems with my old computer.

So I have had my new computer for about 3 months now. My old one has just been in pieces in the old boxes just sitting there doing nothing. My friend asks whats happens to my old one and I told him id sell it to him for cheap. 100 bucks.

So I go back and put it together in the old case and whatnot. Everything is going fine, It boots up like a dream like it always used to. So I popped in the OS disk, its going though the setup. Im messing around on my computer and notice that the other screen, attached to my old computer is black, but the computer is still running.

So I obviously turned it off. waited a few seconds and went to boot it up again. And too much of my dismay. every time i boot it up it dies after 10 seconds.

I'm running out of ideas and i dont want to give that $100 back.

Anyone have any ideas?
 
Is the heatsink seated correctly and everything? Is the GFX fan spinning? Is the PSU clogged with dust? Is everything tight and snug?
 
By dies after 10 seconds what happens exactly? Like does the screen show booting process then everything just turns off (fans, lights, monitor etc) or does just the monitor not show anything?
