Thanks Jeff,
That is where I am at now have taken everything out except the video card,
and the cpu....I have re-seated all the hardware and still shuts itself
down after about 15 seconds....My next guess is something wrong with the
mobo, processor, or both  ???  Those are the only things left....

Anymore advice is appreciated...
Thanks,
Mike Bodak
