Having a strang problem with my parents computer.
The computer was working normally yesterday, but now when I go to turn the computer on, it starts up, but then gradually loses power until it stops and shuts down. The fans start up and then eventually stop and the system won't stay powered on longer than 10-15 seconds.
I'm guessing the obvious culprit is the power supply. It's an Antec Smart Power 350 watt, no problems before.
The system isn't a power hog. Just an athlon 64 3000+, VNF4F mobo, HDD, DVD Burner, and an X300 video card. Nothing that this PSU shouldn't be able to handle.
Any ideas?
