Hey there.

I'm helping my room mate build a computer and we're having a bit of a problem. Everything is set up and ready to go. I turn it on, and it starts fine. 3 seconds later it shuts off. I tryed re-seating everything and that didnt help. I double checked everything. The one thing I have not tryed is taking the motherboard out and booting it with it outside the case to see if one of the risers are shorting it or something.

Does anyone have any ideas for me?

System specs:
MSI KT4 Ultra Motherboard
AMD XP2000+
3200 DDR 512mg
GeForce4 Ti4600 8x
