I've known all sorts of failed components over the years on my systems, but this intrigues me because normally it results in a system that doesn't switch on at all, a blank screen, or dodgy goings on once booted, whereas this comes on and goes off again shortly after.
It depends where it occurs. One place I worked threw out some LG Flatrons that were dead, as in blank scree. I rescued one from the dumpster and replaced a few capacitors and it on my desk right now. Your mobo may be fine and the problem entirely in the PSU. That might explain the boot/die cycle. PSUs fail for many reasons, but if the fuse is OK I'd suspect capacitors. Lookit, capacitors die anyway. Its not as if these are MIL-GRADE stuff for NASA spacecraft that are going beyond the Oort Cloud on a 30 year mission. -- We must become the change we want to see. - Mahatma Gandhi -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
