Default Pc Shuts Down After Restarting

Hi all,

A new post from a new member....

When I switch off my PC, and attempt to restart immediately (or up to an hour or so) the boot stops after about 10 seconds and the computer switches itself off.

This doesn't happen when I use "restart".

The computer's pretty old, (Windows XP) but with a new motherboard, hard disk and sound card.

The fans inside appear to be working, and I've run it with the sides off - it doesn't therefore appear to be an overheating problem.

Any thoughts please?

Thanks

Martin

Hi-- Welcome to PCHF.

So... ten seconds under XP-- it's not getting past POST Power-on-self-test.
Possibilties?
Failing Video-card
bad RAM stick
failing PSU
I doubt processor or mobo-- because you would have many more incidents.
