    @omexmc80 what kind of hd do you have is it sata or ide, lets put it this way do you have another pc in you house? if you do, you can test it and see if it will go to the start menue or desk top. i have done this test before.

    @weldean46 I have tried the ram with one stick, two sticks and all 6 sticks and that seems to be working, and the computer reconizes all 12gb.. the hard drive seems to be working and what i will do is try another hard drive.. the processor also shows up in windows (when i get that far) as its not getting to it full 2.6mhz, but 1.6mhz.. i have ordered a new power supply with more watts, which will be here 2moro.. will let u know how it goes..

    @omexmc80 check your ram first, try a different stick of ram that is known to be good after that i would check your hard drive.

    Ok so my PC turns on but when i press enter when it says start up windows normally it takes only a few seconds for it to just turn off. I tried safe mode and all those things but one time i only got it to the login page and put my password but it still after 3-5 sec it turns off. I tried everything they tell me online like the fan is not working or overheating but i already turned a fan on and nothing i checked online but no one seems to have the same problem as i do please tell me the prob ASAP
