Computer Power Cuts Off, power on light flashing!?!

[samuraiwarrior]

ok so im typing and bam the power just cuts off does what does this signify?
the power light will keep flashing after the power kills and then i can turn it back on cuz the power button and reset is not responding!
i have to switch off power supply then switch it back on, then press power?
i checked the motherboard for capicitors that are dead but everythings fine. i did just try to overclock my cpu but its only at 2.04ghz and i dont know what this could mean,
please help?,

complete specs would help a lot!!!

my guess is that your pc was either unstable or it overheated. but really would help to know your cpu to make a more accurate guess

Ok.....
Processor - AMD64 3200+ Winchester Core

CPU Cooling- GIGABYTE G-Power Blue LED Light CPU Cooling Fan with Heatsink - Retail (120mm Fan)

RAM- Geil Value series ram(Heat Spreaders)

Motherboard - MSI K8N Neo4 Platinum/SLI

Power Supply- Aspire Turbo 520W

Video - EVGA 6600GT

I also have 2 80mm fans on side panel (Intake)
1 80mm fan on top (Exhaust)
1 120mm Rear (Exhaust)
And I have some artic silver but i didnt put it on my cpu cuz it got hard to spread! its all stiff and its not even old

But yea please help me i want to get this system up to 2.6 and could u answer my other question to plz, Is 2.04 in the bios the same as 2.4ghz for the processor speed?

 

[Nitestick]

2.04GHz is 2.04GHz no matter what way you look at it. for now i think perhaps take your processor back to stock speed and see if you can reproduce the problem. if not, problem is found and fixed

 

[samuraiwarrior]

i dont want stock
everyone else overclocked this processor!
ComeON
maybe its the board?
its been replaced from msi and they sent it with brocken sata connectors and a brocken floppy connector. it had physical damage. if u tell me its the motherboard ill get a new one this week!

 

[Nitestick]

well if it's already damaged RMA'ing it can't hurt

 

[samuraiwarrior]

thats the problem they sent me an rma like that and since it has PHYSICAL DAMGE
they will not replace it.
cant u get me able to overclock my system stable PLEASE!!

 

[samuraiwarrior]

if not ill just keep that DFI board coming in on thursday. but what if its the powersupply?
is there any record of a psu causing such problem?
i posted my specs above and i need to know so i can figure if i should keep the new motherboard or return it for a hardrive, but if its the psu then ill return the new board for a new psu and ill be fine but i have to know what the problem is.
