Hi, I recently bought a new heat sink to put in my computer. Once I installed everything and hit the power switch it booted up fine but then after ten seconds it would shut off. I thought maybe it was overheating but when I went into the bios the temp said around 44c and then shut off. Then I thought there wasn't enough power so I put everything back the way it was and the same problem occurred. I've tried switching the ram sticks but that didn't change anything. Then I took out the CPU and booted it but the screen read video signal not found. I thought the motherboard bios would come on but it didn't. I took every thing out of the case and hooked up the mobo and the video card with no change. Now it will boot up for a second and shut off with my case still showing its on while my fans have stopped. I took out the mobo battery to. My guess is the motherboard but this is my first build so I was hoping someone elses opinion. The computer is about 3 months old.
