I built a PC a few years ago. Starting to have a issues. Initially, when I power up it will get just through the XP splash screen before it just shuts down (as in turns off). I hit the power switch again and the same thing happens. It will some times take several tries before it stays on. Even once it gets going I'll b working on it and it will just shut down.

Now I cannot even get it to get past the splash screen. I swapped out the power supply thinking it was the issue but the same thing is happening.

When I get home I was going to remove all the peripherals I can. Video card, sound, Ethernet etc to narrow it down.

I a guessing it is the mother board but I do not know how to test test it.

Any ideas?
