Well about a week ago i was playing BattleField 2, when all of a sudden... instant shutdown. Screen went black, and the computer was dead. I was like WTF, so I pressed the power button; nothing. I unplugged the power cord from the back of the PSU and plugged it back in, then hit the power button. The power came on for about 1/4 of a second, then turned off (the fans moved about an inch.) Then about a second later, it blipped on and off, then quit.
So, I thought it was my PSU. I went ahead and bought a nice Thermaltake PSU which arrived today. I installed it and hooked up all the power cords. I pressed the power button, and to my worst fear, it did the same thing, just blipped on then off.
So, WTH is wrong with my computer? Could the mobo be shorting on something? Is the mobo fried? Is the power connector on the mobo broken?? How come NOTHING starts up in my computer??? I checked the power button connector on the mobo, it looks fine. So, i dunno what the hell is wrong.
Any advice or answers would be much appreciated.
