Here is my system:
GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3R
SAPPHIRE 100203L Radeon HD 2400PRO
Patriot Extreme Performance (2 x 1GB) DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit
Core 2 Duo E6750
NEC DVD-RW
Lite On DVD-Rom
2 Hard Drives
PS - Had a 500w FSP and replaced it with a brand new 600 FSP Supply.
I put my new system together just over a week ago and everything worked perfectly from the first boot. I installed XP and Vista dual boot with no problems, and had no problems for about 5 straight days. When I would turn it off, sometimes it wouldnt power back on all the way. I would get case fans spinning up, dvd drives spinning up but lights would just flash, but I would never get a boot screen on the monitor. Sometimes it would boot up just fine and others I would have to unplug and try to restart several times before I could get a boot screen. Most of the time the CPU fan will start to spin up and then stop, but sometimes it would spin up and stay and it still wouldnt boot.
I assumed my power supply was going bad, so I ordered a new 600W FSP from Newegg. But, it will not get to a boot screen at all with the new power supply.
Here is what I have tried:
Clearing CMOS
Swapping Memory Sticks - if I pull both sticks out it powers on for about 1 sec and turns off.
Removing Mobo from case to check for shorts
Unplugging everything but video card, memory and power
Removing and reseating all items
I dont have another mobo that I can try the cpu in or another cpu I can try in this mobo. I am leaning towards trying to the mobo RMA'd. But I am wondering if there is something that I am missing and should be doing. Thanks for any help you guys can provide!
