Computer shuts down after a few seconds

Well, this is embarassing. It turned out to be the power switch after all. I thought I had taken it out of the system, but obviously not. Thanks to everyone for the help.

Computer shuts down after a few seconds

Already tried a PSU, no help. I'm going to try setting it up outside the case so I can see if it's shorting out. Never seen anything like this one!

Computer shuts down after a few seconds

The CPU is seated properly, but I just can't get the fan to clamp down for some reason.

Computer shuts down after a few seconds

Well, it's not the PSU or the switch. I pulled the motherboard out, and it looks like the fan wasnt' seated properly. I've probably built 20 systems (older), but this is the first one where the fan attaches through four holes in the mothrboard. For the life of me, I cant get it to clamp down...

Computer shuts down after a few seconds

Never thought of the switch - I got my new PSU, so I'll try that and the switch as soon as I get home.....

I should have the new PSU today. Yeah, I'm beginning to think it's the CPU or the motherboard. I did try replacing the RAM - no help

Checked the P4 plug - no help. Don't have another PSU that will work, I think I'll order one. I need a spare anyway. I'd suspect the RAM, but like I mentioned it worked fine for a week. I'll try swapping out the RAM anyway.

Computer shuts down after a few seconds

OK, I tried leaving it alone after it quit, but nothing happened. When I turn the power supply on with the switch, the green light on the motherboard lights up. When I press the power button on the computer, the fans come on, the hard drive led lights up as normal, and the light on the DVD...

Computer shuts down after a few seconds

I'll give it a try when I get home. I think I did that the first or second time it did this, but I can't remember. I was working on a couple of computers at the time, and might have just shut it down immediately. I know the first week I had it up, it never did this, but I'll certainly give it...

Computer shuts down after a few seconds

Computer worked great in the evening, has problems the next morning. The computer starts to power up, it accesses the hard drive and DVD, then shuts down. The whole process takes three or four seconds. Then it's dead until I turn the power supply off and on again. I put this system...

I want to use parts from a Dell XPS600 for another computer

I bought a used XPS 600 not realizing that the components are not standard (different type power supply, heat sink for the CPU, etc...). When you plug the power supply in, the fans come on immediately, but nothing else powers up. I don't have parts to swap in, so I'm thinking of using moving...

Can't upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit...

Still can't get far enough to try any of the other fixes - If I try to do clean install, it still says that the program key is not correct. If I try to do the upgrade with the 64 bit disk, it says that I can't use the 64 bit upgrade on a 32 bit system. I understand about not being able to...
