Ok I purchased a new motherboard and CPU. Put it among the stock heat sink and fan and stroked in to the container. Turned it on with the identical effect. Starts for a second then shuts off. Took the PCI Express video card out and place an older PCI video card in. It booted up and I was equal to run BartPE and do some diagnostics. All appeared ok and the machine was up for about 45 minutes. Shut it off and picked up only to have the machine over shut off after a pair seconds. I was certain it was the mobo and/or CPU but now I just have no hint. Memory sticks I alternated a pair of them in one spot and no cigar. What could be causing this...this is driving me absolutely crazy.
