Computer boots for 2 seconds then shuts down
« on: April 12, 2007, 08:58:21 PM »
Gateway Dekstop P4 420GR....figured it was the motherboard since some capicators were blown.  Replaced and same problem.  Possible power supply problem?  I also tried reseating memory, video card, and took the battery out booted and same problem.  Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks! :(

    If you blew two perfectly good motherboards wth the same power supply it is certanly the prime suspect
