My PC has been stable for about 3 years:
GA-P55A-UD3 Bios F5
Intel i5 750
ATI HD5770 1G DDR3
Memory
Crucial Ballistix 2G 1333MHz 7-7-7-24 1.65V
Antec 650W PSU
Nothing is overclocked.
The system shut down after about 5 hours, After starting it powered on, 0.5 sec, off 0.5 sec and so on,
never reaching BIOS
I cleaned inside fan (only small amount of dust) and all seemed well for 5 days.
Now its happening again.
Luckily a friend built exact same system.
I am using me memory, graphics card and PSU on his motherboard and CPU.
All is working well.
Could this be a CPU fault or motherboard fault?
I have checked my Ga-P55A-UD3 with a magnifying class, no signs of electrolyte
or bulgings caps, (they are mostly solid state).
I hope the motherboard is ok, as they dont make it anymore, can always but a new
Intel
Thanks in advance for advice.
OS is Linux Mint 32bit, but do have a small windows 7 installation.
