I really hate this PC nightmares!
I just tried to boot up my PC this morning and on my first try, POST was completed and Windows XP seemed to be loading . . . suddenly the PC powers off. I try to turn it on again, this time entering the BIOS to check if it identifies the SATA hard drives (I have prior experience of a fried SATA controller). I do manage to enter BIOS, but after around 10 seconds, the PC powers off while I am still in BIOS. Given the limited time, I did see that the SATA drives were identified.
So my question is what is my problem? A faulty PSU??
I was using the PC less than 12 hours ago, ripped a couple of new CDs, was surfing the web and using Foobar. All was fine!
My PC:
Asus P5K-E
Core2Duo E6550
2G Corsair RAM
