Hi,
My second system is a P4 desktop. It was working fine, no symptoms of any problems - then yesturday it would start briefly and then completly shut down after about 5 seconds. No POST beeps at all, just shuts itself down.
Here's what I've done:
Switched the PSU with a known good one, same problem.
Removed video card and all RAM, unpluged power from all drives - same problem.
Is there anything besides an overheating CPU that can cause this? Both fans spinup at startup without problem.
All ideas welcome.
