whenever i turn on my computer the computer will turn on for 5 seconds then
turn off then turn on again and then off for a loop unless i disconnect the
power cable this computer was built by myself about 3 years ago
Intel motherboard-d865perl
Intel processor 2.60 hyper threading
Windows Vista Ultimate/Windows XP
1 gb ram
generic 3 fans
not sure about power supply
 
Ok so do you have the latest Vista drivers for the graphics side of the
card. AFAIK has not released any VISTA drivers for the tuner side of the
card and has no plans on doing so.
 
i believe so, and the computer has been working perfectly fine until the
first time it turned off and on. But there was some instances where moving
the power cable just a little turn it off
 
If your computer turns off after 5 seconds into the boot cycle, you have
hardware problems, as Vista hasn't even begun to load yet.
