116381 2003-01-25 00:52:00 I just purchased a Celeron 400 CPu and M'board. After putting it into my old case I installed a fresh copy of windows which was working fine. But now the computer will not start. When the power button is pushed it turns on for about 3 seconds then turns itself off. Pushing the power button again does nothing, unless I turn it off and on at the wall, where it starts up and then shuts down again. I have replaced the power cords and checked all the plugs.

any ideas will be appreciated

116382 2003-01-25 01:20:00 What rating is your power supply? godfather (25)
116383 2003-01-25 02:26:00 Might be a heavily loaded power supply, with a non-turning fan. ;-) Graham L (2)

Just to clarify a point that mighr exclude your PSU, how long did it run for after you installed windows (minutes/hours or days) and what else did you do after the install as that might give some clues. You could also add some facts about what the configuration was before you installed the MB & CPU, and the brand of the computer. Might help some better qualified persons than me to latch on to your problem.

Cheers
