Theres this non branded comp; it starts when powered on but only 4 10 to 15 sec n then goes off leaving the power led on. Any attempts to boot it again after that are futile until i unplug the power cable n wait 4 5 to 10 sec,until the power led on the comp is off, then it can power on but still with the same problem recuring. I have tested it n found that the mobo n processor are just fine. The mobo has two power inputs from the psu. When i unplug the smaller power input, leaving the biger one pluged in, the comp works just fine but without the peripheral components. But when i plug in the small power input, the shutdown problem resumes. Can anyone please assist me? Thanks
