Is this PC-config unstabel ?

[bushidou]

This is driving me nuts. I am building 2 office/internet/photoshop computer (to my dad) and his main priority is that he don't want to spend a hell lot of money - just a simple computer.

I bought this:

• Motherboard: AsRock K7S8X Rev. 3.0
  
• AMD Barton 2500+
  
• 512Mb Kingston PC2700
  
• Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 Fluid, 80 Gb
  
• Sapphire RADEON 9200 Atlantis 128Mb
  
• LG CD-RW 52x/16x/52x + DVD 16x
  

BUT something is wrong ... I start it up and it's run about 8-10 sec then it is turned off by itself..(!)

It could - of cause be a defect motherboard, but the other PC does it as well. After that it wont start at all. If I cut the power completly and try to start them up, the PSU fan react by turning 1-2 turns and then theres silence again...!

I really don't know what can cause this problem. I'm I just unlucky? They did run for 8-10 seconds each....(?)

Any help or advice would be appreciated.

Try resetting the BIOS?

I built a machine with an Asrock mobo... scared me quite a bit then i realized it has a feature that is skips the POST completely, so if the BIOS is not configured right it does not boot.

I have found the problem myself..

The AsRock K7S8X cannot take 3.3 volt on the AGP slot ... means that my mb has been fried

The Geforce 5200 (1.5 volt) can be used instead.
