Turns off and then on automatically and again off
Hi, my cpu turns on automatically and then off without even booting up completely, and then after some time it turns on again. Its acting up like this since last few days and I dont remember of any incident particular to this. When I disconnect the wire from the mother board it can stay on without turning off.
can any body help me what is the problem?
Thank you

Welcome to TechIMO!
If the wire you are disconnecting from the motherboard is the start button, then I would strongly suspect the power switch/button.
To test this, use a screw driver or something similar to connect the 2 pins that the power switch/button connects to, then quickly remove it. If it works normally, then you need a new power switch/button.
I would also test the switch, to verify that it is sticking in the on position. The switch is a "normally off" switch/button.Last edited by stroyal; June 24th, 2009 at 02:49 PM.

Thanks for the extensive response, it's much appreciated! I'm definitely going to look at all these options. Do you think the prices of the 660, 660ti or 7870 will drop when the new cards come out?
