Problem with parents' system: When power is pressed, the system cycles on-off every 3 seconds, as is evidenced by the optical drive lights repeatedly flashing. With just the processor, ram, and optical drives hooked up, it still does the same thing. I tried switching out the ram. No dice. Even without the video card, it keeps doing the same thing.
This system is an AMD Athlon XP 1800+ system based on a ECS K7S5A, with 256mb of sdr ram, stock heatsink, MSI mx440 video card and a "Deer Computer Co." 300w power supply.
I'm thinking power supply, but it smells fine and has run fine for its entire four-year life. What do you guys think?
