Another "2 seconds on 3 off" problem (Hope this is the right place)

It's kinda hard to figure out what goes where around here, so if this is in the wrong spot, feel free to move it - but please tell me WHERE you moved it to. Thanks.
The guts:
MoBo: MSI P55M-GD45
Processor: Intel I7-860
Memory: 4x2GB Corsair XMS3
Graphics card: MSI/R5750-PM2D1G HD5750 R
Case: Rosewill Smart One
Power: Rosewill Green 530w continuous
HD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 750GB
I put this all together the other day, minus the HD (hadn't arrived yet). I started with 2 mems after reading stories about how 4 might not register.
I started it Saturday, and it lit right up, but I shut it down quickly as it was only a test. This morning, I added my monitor, keyboard and mouse and restarted it. Up came a glorious MSI screen. I rebooted and went into BIOS just to look at the goodies, exiting without changing anything. So far, everything running smoothly.
I powered down and added the other two memory sticks and - blooie!
I now have the same problem others have articulated: press the power on and it lights up for a second or two (all fans and leds go on) and then it shuts down. If left on, this repeats and repeats...I stopped it after 15 minutes.
Cleared the CMOS by the jumper method; nuttin. Tried again using the "take the battery out" method; again, alas, no change.
So I tore it down to mainboard and CPU, undid and reseated the CPU, added more silver thermal, plugged in the power and...crap. Changed the memory to one stick. Nope. Two sticks; uh-uh. I don't have ready access to another power supply and somehow I don't think that's the problem.
Is it just me or is this happening more often than it used to? Anyone have any other roads I might travel down

Sorry, I must have overread the part where you said that the system does not turn on anymore.

I'm beginning to suspect the board
That's possible but it is not the only available explanation.
It could also be a PSU issue or a problem with you video card.  Without further tests, however, all we have are hypotheses that remain to be proved or disproved.

because it's a lot cheaper than the processor.
Even a 1 million dollar processor is subject to potential damage (sadly).

  • I sure hope this is the right place to ask this question.

    Hello.
    Is there a place where I can record and then listen to the recording of my voice? I need to say something into it for an assignment at school.
    Thank you.

    Hello 
    Open GarageBand
    Click New Music Project, choose a location and click Create
    In the bottom left hand corner click the + symbol and choose Real Instrument, click Create.
    Click the Red record button ◉ in the bar at the bottom. You are now recording.
    When you're finished click the pair of scissors ✂ in the bottom left hand corner of the window to open the editor and you can then use cut, copy and paste commands to edit as required.
    Then if you need to burn to disc:
    Choose Share menu > Send song to iTunes
    Open iTunes
    Create a playlist by clicking the + symbol in the bottom left hand corner of the window.
    Click Burn Disk ☢ in the bottom right hand corner.
    Hope that helps.

  • Drawing in NetBeans  (Hope this is the right forum)

    Hello.
    I got a litle question.
    can I draw pictures on the the frame with the GUI builder? (I mean if there is a button "draw picutre" or maybe something through the properties on the frame/panel or something like that)

    but I got already a picture that I want to draw (JPG file)I'm sorry, my bad but I misunderstood you. So you want your application to show a picture, is that it? If so, the easiest way I know of is to create an ImageIcon with your picture, place this imageicon in a JLabel, and show the JLabel. If you need to show a picture in the background, then you'll probably need to override the paintComponent of a JPanel, draw the image there using a graphics method such as drawImage(...). You can learn a lot about how to do this here:

    and here:
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/images/index.html
    http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/2d/index.html
    Here's a simple example of using an ImageIcon:
            try
                String imageFile1 = "disc/d1/f/image1.jpg";
                icon1 = new ImageIcon(ImageIO.read(new File(imageFile1)));
                JPanel jp1 = new JPanel();
                jp1.add(new JLabel(icon1));
                //.... more code here
            catch (IOException e)
                e.printStackTrace();
            }Good luck

  • My speakers to my iPhone 3 just shut off this morning nothing will play through it I don't know if this is the right place to ask the question but what should I do

    I Don't know what to do about my speakers they shut off for no reason

    Hello Brandon,
    I would be concerned too if my speakers were not working on my iPhone.  I found an article that has steps to troubleshoot this issue:

  • My Ipod touch is frozen.  Shows USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes.  What is the problem?  This is the second one I have had that has done this!

    My Ipod touch is frozen.  The screen shows only USB cable with arrow point to the word Itunes.  What is the problem?  This is the second touch I have had that has this same problem.  HELP!

    This time try restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod instead of from backup.  You may have some corruption that is causing the problem and it may now be in the backup.  If the problem persists after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod. then you likely have a hardware problem and ana ppointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My hotmail email has been hacked into. I've changed my password and hope this fixes the problem. Does this mean my imac software is infected. If so what should I do? Everything appears to be working ok.

    My hotmail email account has been hacked into. I've changed my email password and hope this fixes the problem.  Will my iMac system software now be infected and if so what should I do about it?  Everything appears to be working ok.   Is there a free to use software package available on the web, totally secure and reliable, which can scan my iMac for viruses and fix them if any are found.

    Unless you have installed anything, you are fine.

    Hi,
    This problem normally arises with the wrong combination of JDK and OS and for the Linux machines, its better to use IBM Java instead of SUN java
    I remember that I have solved this type of problem by using lower version of IBMJava2-AMD64-142-SDK-1.4.2-10.0.x86_64.rpm which is SR10. You can download this version from
    http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html
    go to download _12 and then just change the sr12 to sr10 in the header url....

    with the higher versions of java for 64bit systems create serious stack over flow problems.....
    what I suggest you is to start reinstallating SolMan after installing IBM java sr10 version...

  • I was trying to make a new screen recording using quicktimeplay, but when I watched the video after recording it all I could hear was me talking while the video was showing on the screen. How do I turn off that recording and turn the right one on? thanks

    Hi j2399123,
    It sounds like your screen recording is doing what it was designed to do, capture what is happening on your screen, with optional voice over with the microphone.
    Screen recording is for recording what you see on the screen, it is not a "video capture" option, like for capturing a movie with sound that is playing on your screen.
    For the QuickTime recording options, check out "Recording with QuickTime Player" in
    Mac Basics: QuickTime Player creates, plays, edits, and shares video and audio files
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4024
    And for screen recording specifically, there's
    QuickTime Player 10.x: Record your computer’s screen

    Thank you for thinking of Apple Support Communities for your support needs.

    if you try to install an app that depends on adobe air, you should be prompted to download and install adobe air (unless it's already installed).
    you can download and install directly so you're not prompted by that app, Adobe - Adobe AIR

    thanks for your response roaminggnome. I changed my password immediately after it happened and I have contacted i tunes to let them know of this dillemma.
    The I-tunes credit was a promotional thing by Apple to buy their laptop. So I didn't pay for the i-tunes credit in the first place. Do you think my bank will be able to reinburse Itunes credit then? I will ask support when they get back to me.

    My bad?
    You're original response was questions/post  about an iMac. Now you've edited it to ask about a Mac Pro?
    You can more easily add internal drives in a Mac Pro.
    Not too terribly easy to add/replace drives in an iMac.
    If younhave questions about a Mac Pro, try posting in the Mac Pro forums.
    Much more knowledgeable users there.
