Heres the problem... We start up and the computer shuts off completly after no longer then 10 seconds....you can hit the power and turn it right bakc on but then it stays on for even less time then the time before.....



ANY ideas????
 
sounds like your power supply hates life T-T. Id recommend 520 with a 7800...but that's just me..

edit: wow my grammar was horrid there...
 
I was thinking PS too. A setup up like that need alot of power.
 
It cant be the PSU, because I tried running it barebones...just mobo, cpu, and the psu, and it still shuts down. Replaced the 4gb of ram to 256 just for troubleshooting too, and it still hangs. As for the PSU, I tried it in my other machine, and it works just fine.
 
um, make sure you have the right amount of thermal paste and that the cooler is mounted properly... you can also make sure your P/S is dust free... copious amounts of canned air can be your best friend...

Take out all cards but video... disconnect hard drives and opticals from power/data and see if it boots...
 
Far, please don't use words like "ass" in thread titles. You might want to review the rules you agreed to when you registered here.
 
Okay, had some guys over, we tried several things with no luck for several hours. Changing jumpers, trying other power supplies, the whole nine yards. No luck. We determined the problem is a faulty motherboard, and it is being returned for a full refund. I'm gonna go pricing the shops around here to get a new motherboard immediately, because I don't feel like waiting for a new one to ship.

Thank you for all your help though. Pece
