Just upgraded my system with most new components I'll describe below.
Problem is that upon boot, it will run for maybe a couple of minutes and
just shuts down. Haven't even been able to keep it running long enough to
load Win XP. It will do this even if I am in bios setup. I had an extra
power supply and tried swapping that but there was no change. I suspect the
mobo is bad, but I am open to suggestions. When it does shut down, the
standby LED on the mobo remains lit and it is necessary to unplug the system
(the PSU doesn't have a switch) to power down and do a reboot. Here is the
system. Have any suggestions? And yes, this is the fourth machine I have
actually built, but definitely the one giving me the most trouble.
Aopen AK79D-400VN Mobo
AMD Athlon XP 2500+ Barton
256 MB Non ECC Crucial 168 pin
Samsung Spinpoint 40 GB
Windows XP...if I could ever get to the point where I could load it!
