on my desktop witch has a asus P5DV-VM SE motherboard with a 2.77ghz processor a 512mb of non-ecc non-buffered ram with a thermaltake powersupply @ 430 watts, when i power it on it shows the post but then shuts down immediately, when i press the power button again it seems like it trys to power up (like it would if it was running on a low battery), at first i thought the power supply was bad (i just built the desktop today from parts i had laying around) so i replaced the power supply with another one, still shut off, tried another one, still shut off, so i tried about 5 more, still the same, i moved the parts to abit motherboard that took the same parts, the same thing happened, all the power supplys i was using were either 430 watt or lower, does a socket 775 motherboard like this one take a higher wattage?

- i tried that before, i will try it again and tell you what happensJul 27, 2009
- nope, still didnt stay on, could is possibly be the processor? it has thermel paste, and the pc shows the post, so i think the processor worksJul 27, 2009
- and it doesnt give any error beeps, it shows the post then turns off, and when i press the power button immedially afterwards the fan revs and dies, if i give it a little time, then when i press thee power button it powers up, shows post, and powers off, i even tried taking out the motherboard and powersupply and connecting it without a chassis and used a old switch i had to turn it on and it did the same thingJul 27, 2009

- if it is overheating (just a idea) should i try putting a shitload of fans in it to see if it lasts any longer before it powers off, (again, just a idea)Jul 27, 2009
- all the fans are connectedJul 27, 2009
- im hoping its not the processor because i dont have one another one like it and me being only 14 years old, i dont exactly have enough money to go out and buy one, i have been repairing and building desktops and laptops for about 5-6 years and this time i am hoping someone can help because i dont know what to do now.Jul 27, 2009

- i do not know why it keeps adding the same comment over and over againJul 27, 2009
- will do, ill tell u the resultsJul 27, 2009
- i think it may be the processor, oh well... guess im stuck with my old 1 ghz desktop till i get a new socket 775 processorJul 31, 2009
- i decided to try something i knew was stupid, using a high pressure water hose, spraying it down really good, then drying it with a hair dryer on high heat, i poped it into the tower chassis a day later (to let it dry i gave it a day) and powered it on, WITH OUT A PROBLEM IT POWERED ON, EVERY THING IS WORKING, IDE, USB, PS/2, FANS, SOUNDER, PCI, PCIE, ONBOARD AUDIO, ONBOARD VIDEO, ETC. i know i probaly caused a few problems that will arise later on but for the moment its a nice pc to use, but my thermeltake dual fan power supply makes a high pitched noise when the system is powered off, it does the same no matter what pc it is in, is that fixable because it is annoying?
