I am having a problem where my computer boots for several seconds and then turns off. I leave my computer on for days and yesterday when I left for work it was on and running. When I came home it was in a reboot cycle. Now whenever I turn the power supply back on it continues this after I push the power button myself.
I looked it up and most people seem to encounter this problem with bad power supplies. I just bought a new Corsair TX650 for my computer in July. Also when it starts to boot the fan spins and it lights up the leds in the rest of my case. I saw one site that said to check if the light on it comes on but there is no light.
I also tried to see if it was my ram. I have two 4 gb sticks of Corsair Vengeance 1600 mnz. I took one out and tried to boot it in all four slots with each stick.
In the case of my cpu overheating I have a Corsair H60. The cpu is currently overclocked to 4.2 ghz and I have never had it go over 70 Celsius under load from prime 95. However, when I received my cooler it only had 3 of the 4 screws to mount it to the motherboard. I thought that this might create a problem but it has not caused any overheating that I can tell. I also booted the computer up while pushing as hard as I could on the corner without a screw.
Full system specs:
Gigabyte motherboard (I cannot remember the model number it was about 150$)
i5 2500k
evga geforce 560 ti
Corsair Vengeance 1600 mhz ram 8 gbs
Corsair H60 liquid cooler
Western Digital blue 750 gb hard drive
LG optical drive
