Today I re-applied the thermal grease on my CPU. All went well, I used a small blob in the center, then reinstalled the cooler. When I went to boot it up, it started, the lights lit up, hard drives/fans spun for about a second, then it shut itself off. It didn't beep at all.
I then proceeded to take it apart completely, check the motherboard for obvious damage, and reassemble it to the minimum components (Mobo, CPU, RAM, keyboard), and then fully, to no avail.
Some Google searches led me to think that it's the power supply, so I went out and bought a 500w Antec earthwatts, but that has failed to solve my problem. I'll prolly be keeping this PSU, its pretty awesome, but any reason for my computer to not start?
