Hey so recently the rig in my sig stopped working. To be exact, when I turn on the power button the fans, leds, and hard drive turn on, but nothing appears on the screen. Then, 10seconds later the computer shuts itself off. All this while no BEEPS come from the speaker.
I've tried to reset the CMOS with no resolution. My next step was removing all the peripharals, including the video card, but the symptoms remain exactly the same, in that it shuts off after 10seconds. I removed the CPU and it doesn't smell burnt at all. I should add that there is a 5month old Antec power supply (i believe around 500 watts). So i'm going to assume its not the power supply.
My question is weather the problem lies in the CPU or motherboard, or what other suggestions or help you guys may have.
Thanks
