PC recently started turning off after 1-2 minutes of operation New System Shuts Down After Running About 1 Minute I put together a frankenstein PC about 2 months ago: eVGA 790i Ultra SLI - Intel 2.83Ghz Quad Yorkfield - 4GB DDR3 - SEAGATE 500GB SATA II - OCZ 700W ModXStream - Thermaltake SpinQ CPU Fan - ANTEC 900 II Case - eVGA GeForce 285 1GB DDR3 Graphics Card It was working fine with no problems for about 2 months (killing zombies in Left 4 Dead!) up until the PC began to turn off random...

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 ?

same thing happened to me. my problem was that my comuter was overhearing because the hardwere is working to har or u insalled something your systwem can't handle. I would suggest you get a better fan or just install cooling with liguids like the aienwere comuters. that is the most logican reason for the informantion you posted. I got a SmartPower fan model numbeer SL350 i think they have new and better ones and the reason i like them is they offer good hardwere for good prices.

New System Shuts Down After Running About 1 Minute I put together a frankenstein PC about 2 months ago: eVGA 790i Ultra SLI - Intel 2.83Ghz Quad Yorkfield - 4GB DDR3 - SEAGATE 500GB SATA II - OCZ 700W ModXStream - Thermaltake SpinQ CPU Fan - ANTEC 900 II Case - eVGA GeForce 285 1GB DDR3 Graphics Card

PC starts then shuts down after 2 seconds
New System Shuts Down After Running About 1 Minute This is a new build-It booted and ran fine-NOT HOT. After initial checks and BIOS settings I loaded my OS...VISTA HP SP1. Then I start loading software and a few restarts then it happens-a shut down-complete to quiet and dark-no sounds of power. I started up a few times and it would run but the times got shorter and shorter. Within 20 minutes it wouldnt run for more than 3 to 5 seconds. Even now 2 days later , completely cold , it shuts down after a second or two. I've swapped graphics cards. All my fans are running and my CPU was running WELL WITHIN SPECS ! My mobo has indicator LED's and these were all green just before shut down. These are my specs: Thermaltake SHARK case The motherboard is new , also the RAM , the CPU cooler and the graphics card. I open to any and all suggestions. Thanks for a place to hunt for answers ! jwill58 -reply by John R Willis

My Solution
New System Shuts Down After Running About 1 Minute My PC was shutting down and not indicating overheating (though it was overheating cause it happened a lot more when playing video) SOLUTION: Remove CPU cooling fan and heatsink Remove and reinstall CPU Reapply thermal compound Reinstall CPU cooler My Amd Socket A needed reseating, and is sensitive to heatsink placement and fan speed. The Amd Socket A heatsink is a ***** to install with zero clearance unless you remove the Power Supply. Mine needed to be seated perfectly to not overheat.
