so after 6 mths of my new build working fine, i started to notice more occasional BSOD happening (i somewhat ignored them since i've been playing bf2142 and just attributed part of it to that).
last night, computer just shut down after about 10min of powerup. wasn't doing anything intensive. no blue screen, nothing. just off on its own. could not power up after that.
took everything out and left only mobo, processor, and power supply. reset power supply by switching on/off and trying again but no luck (i'm powering on through mobo switch so it's not the connection to case issue). all fans power up for about 1 sec, then shuts off.
if i wait for 20-30min, power on, it looks ok and waits for ram. slip ram in, vid card/monitor, hdd, and it posts. but turned it off and on again to test and it does the above: fans power up for a sec and off it goes. tried reseating northbridge heatsink/fan but same issue.
anybody have any ideas? i don't have any spare parts lying around so i really can't do any swapping....
