Last Friday I feel asleep on the couch with my machine on, running steam updates. Woke up a little while later and noticed the machine was off. Turn it back on, fans start to spin, motherboard shows FF, normal orange and blue led's turn on, but so does a red one near the cpu. After about 1.5 seconds the system shuts right back off. Restarts produce the same result, however one try in about 5 and I get it into bios, but afterwards it returns to on for no more than 1.5 seconds.
Searching around it appears the red led could indicate power issue, overheating cpu (unlikely that it turns on almost immediately on a cold start), or dead cpu.
Anyone have experience with this issue? Will finally get a chance to look into it this weekend. Hopefully it's just the power supply, lousy OCZ GameXStream 600W. Might be time to upgrade to the Corsair HX 650W.
