I had big plans to redo my home network this weekend.
After I put a new box together from the parts I purchased today, I discovered a problem.
I get a post on the new box and I'm able to get to the BIOS and make the changes I'd like. I can even get a few seconds into a Linux installer, but then the PC just powers off - instantly. This happens without fail within 3 - 4 mins of turning on the system.
The PC will not boot back-up right away. If I let it sit for about 2-3 min. and toggle the switch on the back of the power supply to off, then in a few seconds I'll hear a very faint noise like "pssss". I can't really tell where the sound is coming from. After it makes that noise, I flip the switch on the back and it will power up for a few more minutes before doing the same thing again.
Nothing looks out of place, the heat sink on the CPU feels cool, and I don't smell any smoke. I removed all of the cards and drives so that I could eliminate them. It still does it with just the motherboard, CPU, memory and whatever else is needed to power-up.
It's 2:30 am, I'm sleepy, and I feel like I'm rambling. Please lend your wisdom and save my weekend.
Good Night, Gabe
