Great Lolcat! Hi everyone!
New here, too. Not an expert, but I rebuild my computer every couple of years. I have a problem. Desktop suddenly quit working. Just shut down in an instant. AMD chip, Asus board, 600-watt power supply. Pressing the on button on the case did nothing. Let it sit a couple of hours (other things to do), then hit the button. Computer boots up, then shuts down, zap, half hour later. The green power light on the board is on, but hitting the switch does nothing, no fans or drives come on, nothing happens. Is it likely to be the ps, the chip, the board? All the connections are tight, nothing unplugged. Classic case of overheating? Bad chip? Clueless. I was about to order a new chip and board, but thought I would beg here first. Ideas?
