Horsepuckie. Dead dfi?

This is odd. I get it started up, and it runs for like 3 seconds and shuts off again. I dont think its PSU as i've tried several. Do you think it could be CPU??????? Or maybe ram? I'm thinking i got a bad DFI (AGAIN) or maybe a craptastic CPU.


Btw its an nf2 ultra infinity running ddr 500 adata with a 2600m

thanks.

try testing it piece by piece. Take out all non-essential parts and trouble shoot from there. Could be like you sad, cpu, ram, mobo, or psu.

its either MOBO or CPU now. does it have anything where a heatsink MUST be on?

Most likley overheating issue, try reseating your heatsink and see if that works.
