If I remember correctly, when I originally started having this issue I looked at the Event Viewer and it said something about Windows Kernel Power.
I'm about to multimeter test the PSU. I started using this guide: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/toolsofthe...imeter.htm
Step 5 says to short out Pins 15 and 16 on the motherboard? What is the deal with this? Why would I do that? I've already disconnected the entire PSU from the system, but when I got to that step I was a tad confused as to why I would do that, so I stopped. Anyone give me insight on that?
Edit: Nevermind, I just reread it, and it said to short out Pints 15 and 16 on the motherboard connector, not the motherboard itself. That makes sense, I guess it's to trick the PSU into thinking the system is on? That's what it seems like when I read to Step 7.
