I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on the cause of a problem I am having with a motherboard. It started one day when I was using the system and it just shut down, as if some pulled the cord. So I did the usual, check for viruses, reinstalled the OS, etc. It still would ramdomly happen. I then purchased a new case thinking it was a power supply problem, same behavior. I have at this point replaced the CMOS battery, removed the memory and replaced with some spare I had lying around, used a spare harddrive, video card, etc. So the only original pieces are the motherboard and the CPU (which I removed and reseated). I still have the random power failures, is this motherboard ready for the garbage bin?
Thanks,
