I just built a new comp, and when i go to start it up, it starts out fine ( fans running, lights on, I can get into BIOS setup). Then after a period of anywhere from 5 seconds to five minutes, it just shuts off, but the power light flashes. The system is definately economy, but it should at least stay on.
Specs:
Chaintech 7NJL6 socket A
Amd Athlon 2900+
geforce fx 5200 (works, it was from a previous comp)
Maxtor 120 GB HDD
Samsung DVD+-RW
Generic CD-ROM
Generic 450W PSU
I think it might have something to do with the cooling system, because if I leave it sit for a while, it stays on longer. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
