Default computer wont boot
Whenever I try to boot up my computer, it just turns on for like 10 seconds, then powers off. Then i have to flip the on/off switch a few times and then pull the cable out for a bit and plug it back in, then it turns on and shuts off again after 10 seconds. Im thinking its a problem with my PSU. Anyone have any ideas to do something about it or should I go buy a new PSU?

Is this a new build, or just a new problem? Have you made any hardware changes lately?

then, I'd have to suspect the PSU. Enermax is rock solid in my limited experience. Do you have access to another PSU that you could test with?

One last thing..... do you know where your CMOS jumper is? If I were you, I'd reset the jumper ( set it in the position over the two prongs that it's not on right now, for 30 seconds), and reboot. Sometimes, that's all it takes with some mobo's.
