i recently built my own computer from the ground up, when i went to turn it on it would only stay on for a few moments and turn off on its own.
Thinking that the 750W PSU was under powered i replaced it with a 1000W and now it won't even turn on :mad:

any help is greatly appreciated
setup:
intel core2 quadcore
750i SLI nForce motherboard
GeForce 9600 GSO graphics card (SLI)
GeForce 9800GT graphics
1TB HDD
500GB HDD
creative blaster sound card (xtreme gamer series)
1000W PSU
2 120mm fans
heatsink fan

When you have SLI cards, I think that they must be the same exact card. Also, check your heatsink.

Problem was a defective motherboard, a capacitor was broken off
