Hey guys so I have a really weird problem. The other day i was dusting the outside of my case with a tissue and all of a sudden it turned off. So now whenever I try to turn it on.. it shuts it self off right away. The fans all go on though. I thought it might be the power supply but I just checked that in another computer and it started up fine.
I have unplugged just about everything from my computer and it still just shuts off right away. The only little clue i got is when I unplug both the CPU power plugs from the motherboard and turn it on.. then it does not shut off. but if i turn it off and plug them in again.. it turns off.. I took off the CPU and cleaned it and everything.. it looked fine.. and it still does the same thing... I am at a loss here. I am going to try to find someone with another processor to try but seems kinda weird that it would just suddenly die with no warning... here are my specs
CPU: intel x6800
power supply: OCZ 700w
MB: EVGA 680i (122-CK-NF68-A1)
and I have vista 32 bit.
