I cleaned my CPU fan and heatsink and then while booting the comp works for 5 mins n then stops. I tried resetting CMOS bt no help. Disconnected everything includign hard drive same problem.

Then I gave power to my motherboard from 1 other guys SMPS and it ran continuousoy widout stopping and shuttting down.

This means the prob is wid my SMPS but what is it ? Should I buy a new SMPS or get this one repaired.

Specs : nvidia6200,asus p5glmx,p4 2.8GHz,1 GB ram.

will function properly with your friends PSU it means that yours has gone to PSU heaven.

Get a new one at least 450W or better they are reasonably inexpensive.

Did you reapply thermal grease when you replaced the Heatsink. If you didn't the CPU could overheat when power is applied and shut the PC down.
