I'm trying to build a new PC for my brother. This definitely isn't my first, but this is the first problem I've encountered anything like this..
Core 2 Duo E6750
MSI P35 Neo2-FR
EVGA 8600GT PCI-e
Corsair ValueSelect 2x1gb DDR2 533
That's the parts I've put together so far just to check for boot up... What happens when I push the power button is that the PC whirls to life, but it seems like everything isn't getting enough juice or something. The fans are spinning very slowly, including the stock intel CPU fan. 5-10 seconds later, the machine just shuts off, then a couple seconds later, it will turn on by itself again.. Then off....... then on..... And so on.
So far I've swapped out PSU's (tried with an Antec TruePower Trio 650w, and a Silverstone 750w PSU)... Same thing with both of them. Exactly the same.
My only other though is that the motherboard is grounding out on the case, possibly? The case didn't include fiber washers, so I didn't use them.
PC's at home at the moment, and I'm at work, so any ideas you guys could give me for when I get home to try out would rock!
