Hi,
I've got a prob with my sig system at the minute which I think maybe related to the psu. My system keeps turning off after 5 mins or so and it I can't switch it back on until I switch off the psu for a few seconds. I'm thinking either the psu is dying (only 4 months old, came with my system) or something maybe shorting in the case. Any got any suggestions?
Thanks

the only psu I have is 250w which aint enough for my 9800. I took the side off the comp and moved the wires and hasn't done it for a while, fingers crossed.

definately sounds like a short especially if its been ok after moving the wires round a bit.

You might want to strip the system down and then build back up after checking all the cables and molex connectors.

Its time consuming and a pain in the ass but a lot less painfull than some dead components.
