So my friend brought over his computer while he spent the night two days ago (he stayed until today) and it turned on for not even 1 second. Now, my computer did this and I was stumped for a week; then I found out a screw was grounding it out. Well we even took OUT his motherboard, turned it on while he was holding it (with cables plugged in) by the fan heat sink. It stil ldid that ground out looking thing. Everything turned on for not even a second then turned off. Now he has put it back together and everything, triple, or quadruple checked it for metal touching it. I suggested a new power supply. Everything is plugged in with the exception of the reset button. My old socket 754 64 bit 2800 used to do that and I always held down the reset button while I turned it on, but since he didn't plug the reset piece in he can't do that. There has to be a logical answer to this, and I am asking you guys to help me. If I'm even stumped... -it's something I have NEVER encountered.
