Power boot up issue

Oct 17th, 2003
Ok so I just built this computer and everything was going good. Then It just stopped powering on. I press the power button and nothing happens. Sometimes it starts up but quickly shuts off before anything happens. I can get it to power up by taking the power botton jumper off and putting it back on agian, but it wont stay on. I am not sure what the problem could be.

Could be your power supply, motherboard grounding out, or an "iffy" connection with the ATX power connector (assumption that it's an ATX PSU).

Disconnect everything from the motherboard, plug it back in. If that does nothing, take the motheraboard out of the case and do it all over.

What about the 12v jumper
What kind of fan is cooling your processor and where is it located.

Above the yellow thing and left to the slots thats where you had it in right. So it only ran for 1 hr tell me you put thermal grease between the processor and the heat sink?I still think this is a grounding issue having to do with the screws
