    Specs
    Kingston 512mb pc3200
    Athlon XP 2500+ Barton
    MSI K7n2 Delta
    Antec Smartpower 400w
    Ati Radeon 9000

    So one day, I go to turn my computer off and back on. I try to switch it on and immediately it powers down after roughly two seconds of being on. I just got the antec PS and new memory, so Ive eliminated those two possibilities, so could it be the motherboard failing and not drawing power anymore? I can only try to start it again if I flip the switch in the back of the psu off and then on again,...suggestions?

    Have you tried hooking up your old PSU to the system and trying it? Just because something is new doesnt mean it cant fail.

    Sounds to me that something is shorted. Could be anything in your system realy.

    I should have been more clear. I replaced my old psu when this one when I began having this problem. I was doing a process of elimination sort of thing
