i just built a computer with a ECS nforce 570 motherboard, a presler 925 3.0ghz pentium d cpu, 1gig kingston ram, evga 7600gt geforce gpu, 160 gb western digi hdd, and a 550w logisys powersupply. after powering on, everything looks like it is going fine. everything powers up, all fans, hdd, dvd, gpu, everything... i can get into bios, but no matter what 15-30 secs give or take after turning it on, it shuts off by its self. can having the case switch wire + and - turned around rma any parts ? i realized it powers on having it plugged in either way, with the same affect.. and im just hoping whatever the problem is wasnt something i did. i hope its just the powersupply.. it seems everytime i try to turn the computer on again, it shuts down after a shorter amount of time, unless i let it sit for awhile.. then ill get a good 30-40 seconds again before it just dies..
