where to start!
i have
abit nf-m2s specs here
amd athlon 2400 skt am2
the mobo and cpu and the rest of the pc are about 16months old they we all fine 2 days ago no problems has been running windows 7 for months fine the other day i was using it then all of a sudden it powerd off instantly so i powerd it back up went through bios fine booted up from hdd fine started to load windows 7 with logo then powerd off again it does this about 10 times sometimes less or more but i can sometimes get into windows i can be in windows 30 mins then powers off again i have tried booting into safe mode same problem just powers off but can sometimes get into windows for 30 mins then powers off again so my 1st simple / cheapest solutio was to reinstall windows it booted up from cd fine and the first screen you get when installing windows that says loading files it powerd off there so i tried a diffrent harddrive from another pc that 100% works and the same problem when i try to install windows 7 so i tried a new psu ive been using a 450w for 16 months so i bought a new 550w and same problem just powers off so i bought new graphics card thinking it might be overheating or faulty and same problem i have tried 6 lots of ddr2 ram and still powers off all of them are working as ive tested them in another board ive reset bios a number of times disabled in bios shut down for overheating the weird thing it if i stay in the bios or i am in command promt the pc stay powerd on and doesnt shut down when it does shut down i have removed heatsink and checked the cpu and it is either cold or luke warm never too hot even if im in the bios for 2 hours the restart to load windows then and it still powers off and its still luke warm i have not added any new hardware prior to the problems so the psu should have enough power.
my conclusion
ram= no i have tried 6 100% working sticks of ddr2
gpu= no i have tried 2 gpu's 100%working
psu= no tried a brand new one 100% working tested in other system
hdd= no tried a 100% working one
it has to be the motherboard or cpu
but the problem i am having is the faulty one is skt am2 and my working pc which ive used to test all the componets is lga 775 so i cant test them unless i buy new parts and i dont want to buy new mobo and it be the cpu thats faulty and vice versa if anyone could help me figure out what the faulty part is i will be gratefull
