DDRAM512MB|64X64 DDR333VS -2700COR% corsair value ram
HD 80GB|WD 7200RPM 8MB WD800JB%

computer had been running strong for 2 years and now, when it boots up, it will only last for about 5-15 seconds then shut down on me. any help would be appreciated!

 
Unplug as many components as possible (like extra drives, cdroms, soundcards) to see if it boots. Sounds like a psu problem.
 
thanks guys,

it was the PSU. weird, in the past my bad psu's wouldn't event turn on... I guess this one was getting there and just had enough juice to initially boot up. again thanks for the help!
