My problem is not quite the same as the one a few posts down.
I have an AMD 1Ghz Tbird, on an MSI K7T pro2a mobo, a visiontek xtasy video card, with the geforce 3 and 64 Mb, and memory pc133, 526mb, power supply 300W by award model ESP-300. Operating system XP.
What hapens is that the system crashes after a few minutes, somtimes during the start-up cycle, even as soon as in the middle of a disk scan before start-up. The monitor goes to stand-by, the hard disk led stays on continously, the cpu fan slows a bit to the stand-by speed, and the reset switch does not work anymore. The only way to shut down is with the on/off switch, however when I use it, the computer will not restart. I get 4 red led lights on the mobo, which means the processor may be damaged, and nothing happens except the hard disk led is on all the time. But when I use the master on/off switch in the back and/or unplug the computer, then it will reboot normaly until the crash in a few seconds. I switched cables to no avail.
I have taken the hard disk out and installed it on my old computer (AMD K6 500Mhz), and it runs okay, even when I transfer all the components (video, sound, modem cards, and even used the same memory).
I don't realy think it's the power supply, but maybe somone can tell me how to test it. That only leaves the mobo, and the cpu. Any ideas how I can verify this?
Thank's in advance for any help.
