New self built PC and new problem

[djbeenie]

Ok I fixed the first problem. But now it keeps shutting off for no reason at all. I first thought it was the Audigy 2 Plat card. Thought it was conflicting with the intergraded card. Well I disabled the intergrated and updated all the new drivers for the audigy. Worked for about 2 mins then the pc just shuts off. So I rebooted and then tried to install a program, boom shuts off. I have a 400 watt PSU? Should this be higher?

My CPU temp is around 30-34 C. Would this be shutting off my PC? I thought that was normal temperature. It has not been over clocked. The bios is at default settings. Anyone have any ideas?

Regards,
Bryan

Oh and to get the computer to turn back on, I have to unplug the PSU for 5 seconds and then plug it back in. Boots back up.

I think that is weird.

have you tried booting without the audigy card? installed all the drivers (including chipset)?
my brother had similar problems with his audigy 2 card and eventually just gave up and used onboard sound.

I haven't tried that, but I don't think it's the card now, b/c it shut off in the bios.

i know that when i first got my audigy 2 card i had a similar problem. i had a fresh install of everything. installed the audigy 2 card and everything was working fine. wasn't until i installed nvidia drivers for my geforce card that i started having the problems. so i just reverted back to windows default graphics drivers for the geforce card and everything was working fine again...

I reseated my CPU and I turned my heatsink around and applied more thermal paste. Seems to be running good now. Anyone know the nivda cut off temp. for a overheated cpu?

Sounds like it might have a short. It could, however, be several things. But with it sutting off and the power needing to be reset I would look for a short. Pull everything out and run it on the table out of the case adding one piece at a time starting with the minimum.

Good luck
