D Dutch Baseband Member Messages 71 Oct 10, 2004 #1 This computer is a new build, and when I boot it up it shuts down...sometimes 2sec and other times about 5. The PSU is a brand new 420w. What is causing the problem?

OP OP D Dutch Baseband Member Messages 71 Oct 10, 2004 #5 The problem is the hdd was formatted....i dont even think i can get into the BIOS.
TheMajor PowerQuest / Opera Messages 10,176 Location Netherlands Oct 10, 2004 #6 so there's no windows on your comp? you can acces your BIOS at any time, but u don't need to get in your BIOS to solve this
