Power Supply Problem

Post by Mwing »

I have just set up my new computer by myself. I have a problem regarding the power supply. Everytime I shut down my computer, after a while like 10 minutes, I cannot start the compputer. I press the power switch on the case, there is no response. And the led on the mother broad has light, so I think there is no problem about the power supply. I am using a 800Mhz Athlon on a 300W power supply. Could anyone please helpp me??

Remove the motherboard from the case and test the system w/ just the PS, CPU, RAM, video card, hard drive.
