Yesterday I put together a new PC. Last night I was playing games for several hours without a problem. I shut the computer down and went to bed. This morning I go to the PC and hit the ON button and nothing happens. I cycle the power on the PSU, no luck. I went to take a look inside the case but the moment I leaned the case over to check things it powers up.
Unfortunately it only stayed on for a few seconds then powered down. Then I try starting it up again, it starts, fans spin up, then powers down after a few seconds. I found that if I just leave it after it powers down it will power itself up, then power down after a few seconds! And the amount of time it stays powered up seems to be indeterminate - sometimes it lasts ~2 seconds, sometimes long enough to POST and halfway load Windows, but never long enough to actually boot windows.
Any ideas here? TIA.
