Ok, I'm working on this computer here are the specs:

1.6 Ghz Intel P4
350 Watt Power supply
512 DDR ram
Gigabyte mobo 8IE800

Ok, they called me up, I came over and they said that the monitor died.
I looked, power was running through the computer, mouse was on and
everything. Changed the monitors, it work... an hour later it died,
back to square one. then I changed the power supply,. thinking the 5V
was acting up, since maybe the 12V worked so everything inside of the
case worked except now the mouse, keyboard and montor are off.

So I get a new power supply throw it in, hook it up and it works. 2
hours later it died again. now heres my question before I go buy more
parts. Qould this be a CPU problem? or Motherboard problem. I've heard
that it could be either or. now how can I go about testing this with
this being the only crappy pentinum I have access to?

Thanks
 
I had a similar problem with a Dell that died every 2-3 minutes.
I switched to the onboard video from the AGP card and all was well. My
assumption is that the video card had a bad connection that opened as the
unit heated up.
 
Anything else you've tried you would like to tell us about so we can
get down to solving your problem?

You said the monitor died, so you replaced it and that one died also.
Are these monitors dead or they just stopped working on this PC?

What kind of monitors are they, CRT, LCD, etc. I had occasion to
destroy two LCD OEM panels while doing destructive testing of a
military transportable cluster. Did it by adjusting the refresh rate
too high for the OEM LCD panel. It worked good for about an hour, then
paff, nadda, zilch. So I replaced it just to make sure and the new one
lasted almost a hole 12 hours.

| nope, tried that already

I think there might be some problem with the motherboard or the processor.
Try the following solution and see which one works for you. Remember, always
ckeck the products specification before open the packages!
Solution 1: ckeck the motherboard specification, find out the exact power
source and voltage it needs. Calculate it with other equipment you''d brough
and find out the total voltage it can handle.

*If you still having same trouble, let me know and I will figure out
something for you.
