I have a new ecs extreme motherboard with an apthlon 939 3000+ processor, with 512mb ram a new power supply and new hardrrive. I have a 128m AGP video card from a good machine. All of the itemes I am using have either come from a running system or have been tested in a working computer. My computer will turn on and I can get to cmos setup or to boot from cd, however, after about 1-2 minutes the system just shuts down.

well in some famous words just check your bios and to see if you missed any steps in connecting them. or just call service support unless this a full customized system built from scratch.

Do you have a heat sink and fan for your processor? Or did you forget to plug that in? If there is no fan on your processor, it could shut down after a minute because of over heating. I'm not sure if you over clocked your processor either. Cause if you did, that would make the over heating problem worse.
Make sure the computer has adequate cooling! It will shut down if it is overheated. Even some BIOS have an option to shut down if CPU temperature goes beyond a certain point. |

Well, the possibilities i can think of are:
Overheating issues Manufacture defrags Lack of power Those 3 are some possibilities that could cause your computer to reboot not long after startup. |

This is a common classic problem of DIY computers...
Here are the possibilities if it.. 1) Overheated - The cooler or fan is not powerful enough to cool down your processor or graphics card 2) Parts / Components disconnected |

1.) try boot the computer in bios or ms-dos and running the msd to check whether it is overheat or not.
2.) check your power supply to confirm that provides enought power. 3.) replace with a older display card to see the problem will occur 4.) try twist the motherboad a little bit, sometime the motherboard might have some noise, by this way, should be clear it out. 5.) replace the ram with a single 256 or 512m ram if the ram is two pieces. - hope this help |

does your pc boot into xp or does it fail ?
if you go into the bios and leave it there for a few minutes does it fail ? does your motherboard bios has a section that shows the processor fan details ? if you can see the temp in the bios , what is it ? what speed is your fan running at ? if the temp getting up to 65 - 70 degrees then it is over heating. is the fan running slow or is it noisy ? did you put heatsink compound on the fan base ? |
