Hey Guys,
First post, last account somehow dissappeared. I'm having a very annoying problem with my computer. It's a intel-based Abit IP35-e board using a E8400. It has been stable for about six months until suddenly I attempted to turn it on this morning and it began giving me trouble. Ranging from 4 seconds to 5 minutes, the computer will start and even get into normal operation (playing games, internet) until it very abruptly powers off. It's a very sudden power off. I tried rebooting many times, setting the bios to its default state, and even reset the CMOS. I then tried switching the power supply. Same problem.
Is this a dead board? I have to admit it was mildly overclocked at the time but nothing to serious. The temps were good, usually around 35-40 C. Any suggestions?
