just got a new case and power supply and now my computer shuts off after 10 seconds
hi i just bought a new case and power supply last night and once i had everything installed as soon as i plug the pc into the power strip it turns on automatically and then shuts off after about ten seconds. the computer was working fine with my old case and power supply wich was 50 watts less then my new one. illlist my specs below.
ASUS A8R-MVP AMD ATHLON 64 3500+ ATI RADEON X1600 PRO PCIE CREATIVE SOUNDBLASTER AUDIGY 2ZS 500 WATT POWER SUPPLY I was using liquid cooling but my water pump broke last night so im using the stock cpu fan. I did have the computer on for about an hour last night and my wife used it for about two hours today and it shut itself off while we were out of the room and ever since then ive been having my current problem. Also how much thermal paste are you supposed to use with a socket 939 cpu i used toi have an intel socket 478 and im sure its different Last edited by echolsca; 03-18-2006 at 08:25 PM. |

The PSUs are going to draw similar amounts of power. Perhaps your heatsink isn't attached properly? Since you were wondering, you can compare installation instructions here depending on which type of thermal compound is most similar to what you're using.
I was going to ask if you remembered to plug in the power to the video card, but I doubt it would work (at all, let alone for 2 hours) if you forgot this step.

Shutdown temp should be around 80C or so.

If so you should read through this thread as that PSU appears to be a dud.

So same problem with multiple PSU's. Alright, how about eliminating other components. Remove everything from the MOBO. Install only 1 stick of ram and video card. Boot it up and see how it goes. If it's still quarky try a different stick of ram. Repeat if necessary. If you have another video card you can try then try it, even if it's a PCI card.
