Default [Answered] PC intermitent booting

Hi

I really hope someone can help me. My PC is having serious mood issues, at times it just refuses to boot almost all of the time now. I've taken it to the company i bought it from, and twice they have returned it to me only to find at home it doesnt boot. They have already replaced the mainboard and then the power supply.

When it does boot it works perfectely, and they got it working at the tech center and assume its fine.

When i say it doesnt boot its not doing ANYTHING, the fans come on and thats about it. I got the leds at the back that tell me what stage of the boot process its in, and they are always just all red, corresponding to either a damaged cpu or incorectly installed cpu, but the cpu does work and they tell me theyve reseated the cpu.

Reseating the ram has worked, so has resetting the bios, even swoping the power supply has worked before, for a while, however these changes now appear just to be completely random.

Please help if you can, im a serious gamer and i cant handle not having a working pc. The tech people have failed me and i am going insane. My pc specs are below, oh, and its less than a year old, with the mother board and power supply being brand new.

Pentium 4, 3.2Ghz
P4N Diamond Main board, MSI
1024 MB ram, ddrII, Kingston, 667
Geforce 7800 GT
2 hd
dvd writer
450watt powersupply

likely the PSU is not high enough wattage, or the CPU is messed up. Oh, and i have found in my experience that MSI boards tend to be not great quality
