Help!! PC powered off after 30 minutes of use of newly built system :(

Hello,
I just received my new pc parts yesterday. Installed it all and it ran like a champ long enough to install windows 7. Approx 30-40 minutes. As I was downloading drivers it shut completely off. I went to turn it back on and the fans would come on then go off :(. I was working great and the cpu temp in the bios read 43C so it looked good there when it was working. There are no beep codes also so I am not sure whats going on??
System Specs:
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 650W
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz
MSI P67A-G43 (B3)
Things I have tried
* Cleared the Cmos from the back of the motherboard. It now turns on with fans running one LED light but no video
* Removing both ram sticks (2x 4gb) and putting each one in seperately
* Switched out video cards and even moved it to the other pci express slot
* Took heat sync off and took cpu out and put it back in to ensure it was seated correctly.
I don't have another power supply or motherboard to test with. Since there are no beep codes I am beginning to think that either the motherboard went out or maybe the power supply?
Anybody have any ideas as to what maybe happening. I greatly appreciate it!!

I had the same problem when I upgraded.  In my case it definitely was the power supply.  In my effort to figure out the problem by swapping components in and out, the dieing power supply killed 2 P8P67 Pro and 2 2500k, and when I tested with the P67A-GD65, the power supply totally died, but the good thing is that the GD65 survived.  Swapped in a 430W to test and everything was perfect.  At full load with GTX260, it will draw less than 300W, so your power supply is fine to test.

    15"Macbook Pro shuts off after 5 minutes when using full-charged battery.  If not touched, computer stays on.  But start typing, it shuts off.  Was told this was a fan problem.  Had fan replaced last spring.  But problem has begun again.  Is this a battery issue or somethig else?

    rich,
    Is this your model (circa 12/2009) ? Suspect either thermal or the PSU is over-heating.
    What changes were made since it was manufactured?

  • Why does my airplay cut off after 5 minutes of use?

    Any time here lately when I connect my mac book to my apple tv, it will play a few minutes of pandora or itunes that after about 2 songs or so, its stops playing on the tv and contiues on the computer then skips a song, almost like it froze and skips to the next song. I've tried retarting reseting my apple tv, nothing seems to work, not to mention its up to date. Any suggestions?

    It may be that your Computer Sleep preferences are causing the problem. I had the same problem and extended my Computer Sleep time from 5 minutes to 3 hours.  Try extending your maximum time before sleep to a longer time under System Preferences > Energy Saver > Computer Sleep.

  • Yoga display turns off after 1 minute

    I'm having an annoying problem with my new Yoga related to the display and have not seen any other posts with a similar complaint so perhaps this is a simple fix that I'm just not able to sort out on my own. My display turns off after 1 minute of inactivity. The only means for changing behavior like this that I am aware of is through the Control Panel Power Options. My settings for "turn off the display" are 10 minutes on battery and Never while plugged in (note screen shot attached). Regardless of my settings, the screen turns off after 1 minute. I've changed the settings to multiple configurations and restarted with no change in behavior. Perhaps there's some other settings area, maybe something specific to Lenovo that I'm not aware of (since this is my first Lenovo laptop). Anyone with similar problems or insight?

    This may be a Windows 8 issue. I finally fixed this problem by identifying the screen saver as the issue (and I wasn't using a screen saver). Type "lock the computer" into the search box after clicking the search charm, which brings up the screen saver dialog box. Mine was set to 1 minute, though I'd never set it myself. If you can't change it, choose a screen saver and you should be able to do so (and can then switch back to no screen saver). BUT, here's the problem. Other things you install (or settings within things you install) can apparently change and override whatever you type in for the delay time. Try applying your new time and exiting from the dialog box, then open it back up again. I was finding that it kept going back to 1 minute. To reset things so that you can get control again, type "user accounts" into the search box and when the dialog box comes up, choose "Reset Security Policies". Then you can go back to the screen saver dialog and successfully change the delay time.

  • Is it better to "lock" or "power off" after an Ipad 2 use? Why.?

    Is it better to "lock" or "power off" after an Ipad 2 use? Why.?

    A locked iPad is sleeping and will be usable much faster than one that has to be powered up. The sleeping iPad uses very little power, but it uses a few percent of the battery.
