Hi, I'm putting a new computer together. I'm having an issue though when I try and boot it up. I power it on and it will turn on, then turn off. It'll then turn itself back on/off and keep doing this.
Any ideas on what this could be? Thanks in advanced |

your power supply is inadequate. it can't handle the load you're putting on it. you need to get a new one. a more powerful one.

Thanks for the quick reply. I have an 850watt PSU in the machine so I don't think that's the problem..
The mobo has a 24Pin main outlet on it. The PSU comes with a 20Pin, however there is a 4Pin cord I can plug in to make it a 24Pin.. I should have this plugged in, right? |

i do believe so yes.
in all fairness to me, you didn't say what kind of PSU you have let alone the wattage...but at least i was right about it being a power problem. :) |
