I would try it on the benchtop, out of the case to make sure the board isn't shorting out. I would also try with just the memory installed then add things back one at a time

You might want to make certain the heat sink is making good contact with the CPU. Also, you should use the CPU paste with silver in it, for maximum cooling.
I have seen workstations shut down because the CPU gets too hot. Also, an intermittently bad power supply can also do it. If you have another known good power supply, try substituting that. Good luck. DR -------------------- |
