Which I got from Woot here:
http://www.woot.com/blog/viewentry.aspx?id=17217I upgraded the Graphics card to this:
Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1 GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card
Seen here at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0035K6H2CI then upgraded the Power supply to this:
Corsair CMPSU-430CX CX Series 430-watt Power Supply Compatible with Intel Core I7 and Core I5
Seen here at Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YBVN08I installed everything and it was working fine for awhile until one day the power shut off. I attempted to restart the computer but it would only power on for about one second then turn off. I thought that perhaps it was the power supply so I switched out the new power supply for the old power supply. The same issue occurred; the computer will power on but only for a couple of seconds then turn off.
I do not know where to go from here. I am hoping that it is a simple fix and that I can replace one or more components.
Thanks again for your help in advance.
