hardware troubleshooting during boot – help needed

by info . Updated 17 years, 11 months ago

My just over a year old system froze this morning and now won’t boot up. What’s happening is the system tries to start and maybe 2 seconds later shuts down and then maybe 10 seconds later tries to start again. A couple of times it has gone past this point, but my monitor doesn’t get a signal so I can’t see if it’s really booting up. I’ve reseated the video card, pulled out the TV tuner and firewire cards. But the same thing is happening.

Please help me troubleshoot this, all help appreciated in advance.

System:
MB – Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R
CPU – E6750 – overclocked to 3 Ghz most of the time
PSU – 600W – the one with the blue light in it
HD – (1) 320 SATA, (2) 250 UATA, (3) 500 SATA
DVD – Pioneer Bluray Rom
RAM – 4GB Ballistix DDR2 800
Video – 8600 GTS 512MB
