okay i got a new computer, it's been running since christmas day. randomly today it just turned off and won't turn back on. when it irst happened i touched cpu hs, chipset hs, and video card. none seemed hot at all, actually cool to the touch. if i have it unplugged for a few minutes it flicks on for a fracton of a second then off.

the specs are:
ultra x-connect 500 watt psu
dfi lan party nf4 sli-d
amd 64 3200+
evga 7800GT
WD 250 gig sata hdd
and just one dvd rom drive

i have a feeling it's the psu, but the led light on the mobo says it's getting power. any ideas?
 
have you tried disconnecting power to the mobo, waiting bout 15 seconds, then reconnecting?

And by touching... do you mean reseating? Trying reseating each part, minus CPU unless you think you would need to.
 
try taking out the floppy then optical drive, it seems to be short circuting somewhere, i would say try each out in another computer one at a time, good luck
Edit: i see you don't have a floppy, i would also check to see where all your wires aren't touching any other part for example, i just recently read a post where a guy's wires went behind his motherboard and a similar problem occured, after he removed the behind the mobo wires it worked.
