new comp,not working.

[solofowaffles]

ok got some new comp parts today

cpu-intel core 2 duo processor e6300 1.86 ghz 1066 mhz fsb 2 mb L2 cache

motherboard-MSI P965 Neo, supoorts core 2

memeory-1 gig of kingston 4200 ddr2

vid card-evga 7600 GT KO

case came with a 350 watt psu.

ok the problem is we start it and it starts but after 5 seconds stops an shuts down.so any advice would be helpfull.

on a side note this si a much better comp than my old one which u might remeber as a pentium 4, 512 mb mem and a 5500 fx.

Re: new comp,not working.

Sounds like PSU issue. 350w is way too low , and if it came with case i think its even worse. Cases to not put good brand PSU s in them (usually)
Go buy a 500w Forton ( good and cheap)

Re: new comp,not working.

does it even post? Are all the power cables plugged in (motherboard, CPU, hard drive, disk drive)?

Re: new comp,not working.

im going to be dumb and ask if his Cpu was the Retail or OEM version (one comes with a stock heatsink the other doesnt)

I had this problem before but im not sure if ur mobo has has the same thing but there is a 4 pin power connector i didnt plug tht in and it did the same thing tht its doing to u now. So try to see if you have that.

I would guess your PSU or the CPU heatsink not installed properly.

Yeah I'd go with mrt1989, change your power supply. If it came with the case, itll be poohs. Its probably loading the game up, then crapping itself under full load.
