so when I turn my PC for the first time in a day it works for about 5 minutes then it turns itself off, (the LED's turn off, fans, everything). Then it turns itself on again but can only stay on for about 10 seconds then it turns off. On, off, on, off. No error message appeared. I asked my friend and he told me to re-install windows. I started to re-install it but then it turned itself off and when I boot it up windows trys to re-install immediately. Help me!!!!!!!!!!

Solution
The fact that all your components seem fine yet your pc wont stay powered on is a good clue.

To check this, you can try a mate's power supply if he has one.


It's not too new. I put it together around 1 month ago and have used it plenty of times since.
 


Haven't overclocked at all. Are you sure the psu could be going bad? its pretty new
 


yeah ok. ill let you know how it goes!
