System shutting off after several minutes

I ordered the parts on 11/24/2011. Seems quick for a power supply to go out after 9 months, but maybe it's somethin' I'm doin'. This is the first time I've had any sort of problem with a Corsair products, but nobody's perfect.

System shutting off after several minutes

Thx for the tips fellas! I had an old friend unexpectedly come to my rescue with a power supply from his basement. Been running this one for over an hour now, when the old one shut down after 5-10 minutes. Of interest, when I removed the suspect power supply, there's a brownish streak on...

System shutting off after several minutes

System shutting off after several minutes

Hi everyone, My system has begun shutting off after several minutes of normal use. Everything goes black for just a moment (fans, LEDs, everything), then starts up again after a second or so. This morning I timed it at about 8 minutes of sittin at the desktop before it happened. At...

Who's that power supply?

Thanks for the input, fellas. It's listed for 20 bucks, if it were any more, I'd have moved on by now. If I can determine who made it, I could google some reviews.

Who's that power supply?

Hey guys, Was looking on a local classified site for power supplies and I'm interested in this one. I'd like to know the brand and model, though, and the one picture they've posted doesn't help much. I've contacted the seller, but it's early and haven't gotten an answer. Does anyone...

Power Supply Failure?

Hey everyone, I'm looking for help diagnosing a system that would no longer boot. As you can tell from the specs lower down, it is a couple years old. Wouldn't you know it, I was dominating faces in TF2 last night, when right around midnight, my game crashed. My computer began...

Anyone got a 50% (now 20%) off Demigod code they're not using

Shameless attempt to recreate others' successes here. If anyone has a code they'll never use, I'd make good use of it! Thanks for even considering.

Won't boot, looking for input

I ordered the product that you suggested, and once we installed the internal speaker we started it to find out there's still no beeps. Also, there's onboard video on this motherboard and we get the same symptoms when we try and use that. Does anything come to mind as to what's causing these...

Won't boot, looking for input

Wow, thanks a ton for that link. You're dead-on about the speaker; neither the motherboard nor the tower has one built-in that I can tell. I gotta bookmark that site, that's just awesome. Truly, thanks a ton.

Power Problems w/ laptop

Typically, I use the laptop on a table or desk, but I've been known to take it on the bus or use it in bed. It's seen plenty of use since I got it back in 2005, that much is certain. I'll try to see if the power cord works on another laptop and make sure I didn't get bad luck with the new...

Power Problems w/ laptop

Hi everyone, I've got a Gateway MX6030 that is having some issues. I got it at a Black Friday sale at Best Buy a few years back. Recently, my battery finally began to give out; unfortunately, at the same time, the power cord that came with it began to show its age (or so I thought)...

Standard order to POST?

Howdy. Some recent computer maintenence has brought me to wonder how POST may vary from company to company. Does the order of tests differ, or is it largely the same from motherboard to motherboard? Upon power on, what component is tested first, and which would be tested last...

Trouble starting up

I've tried everything I can think of other than buying new, lower voltage rating RAM. Can anyone recommend any other course of action, before I go buy some cheapo ram?
