Just finished building it, and so i was trying to configure the BIOS, but it keeps on shutting down. I thought it might be overheating, so i took off the stock fan (i have a core 2 duo), replaced the heat paste, reseated the fan, and tried running it again, but it keeps on happening. What could be the problem?

Just finished building it, and so i was trying to configure the BIOS, but it keeps on shutting down. (BECAUSE I just finished building it, there is no possibility of a virus, because i have yet to instal an operating system, much less go on the internet.) I thought it might be overheating, so i took off the stock fan (i have a core 2 duo), replaced the heat paste, reseated the fan, and tried running it again, but it keeps on happening. What could be the problem?

There are also no apparent errors when the computer starts.

ok stop worrying and choose me as best answer {;-) beacause I came to help.I work for geeksquad. go to control panel then performance and maintance the power options and on power schemes check that the computer doesn;t have a certain time period before it shuts down then if it does choose no timer or zero and woala. good luck from a geek squad employee free

it could be a few things it could be a virus that causes the computer to prompt saying 1 min till shut down, it could be power problems power cord could be faulty, the operating system could be unstable. my advice if you don't know much about computers don't do anything yourself get a technician to take a look at your system. sometimes when you think you fixed it you have just screwed it more.

This could be lots of problems. First of all when you boot it up does it say any type of errors?
