The topic really says it all. Friday night, I used my computer to watch a movie with friends, and then turned it off overnight. The next morning I got up early because I had to drive somewhere that day. I turned it on because I wanted to print directions, but nothing. The fans will turn on and light up, but it wont post. Monitor wont recieve signal, keyboard and mouse wont light up ect. I shut it off and decided not to mess with it until last night when I got back.
My frist thought was that it had something to do with overclocking instability, since it was running at 3.6ghz up from 2.4. But I found this hard to believe because it has been running rock solid with zero crashes for a year now. I took off the side panel and tried to reset the CMOS with a screwdriver which always worked in the past. Still same result. The computer will light up and fans spin for 10 seconds, then shuts off. Then lights up again, repeating over and over till i make it shut off. Any guesses? Sorry I don't have any parts to swap out to determine the cause. But thanks for your help either way. This is also bad because I'm at college and its my only computer on hand.
