Hey guys,
I helped a friend order/build a PC with everything from Newegg. I've done it before, so I know what I'm doing for the most part. I'll list the parts and as many details as I can. If you guys have any questions, let me know and I'll give him a call. I don't have the equipment on me.
Ok... after some thought, scratch that idea. All I know is that it is a AMD AM2 Dual-Core processor and an ASUS AMD AM2 socket Motherboard, an eVGA 256MB graphics card, 500Watt power supply, 2GB of ram, 320 GB Seagate harddrive, and a lite-on DVD burner. With 500 Watts that should be fine for the power, so I doubt it's an issue with that, right? Could it be something with the processor/heatsink? We've tried rotating the heatsink, and it still does the same thing. Fan even runs on it each time. I'll get the model name/number of the motherboard and processor ASAP.
Basically we turn it on, all the fans spin, and the lights light up. It sounds like the harddrive starts to read and everything, but it just completely powers down after the 5-10 seconds of being on. We figured maybe something with the wiring or the Processor?
But yeah, any ideas? I'm in sort of a rush and trying to get as many details down as I can, but like I said, if theres any questions, let me know.
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Jon
