I recently upgraded my PC.

Specs:
EVGA X58 SLI3
intel core i7-930
OCZ triple channel RAM
Cooler Master 932 HAF
Cooler Master CPU heatsink
Antec TP 650 watt
ATI Radeon 5850

Whenever i turn my PC on in the morning, it goes on, than turns off, than it goes back on without me doing anything. It is starting to make me worry a bit. Anyone know what the deal is?

Also, for anyone who has an ATI card: How do you run AA in window mode? I can only get it to work in full screen.

Thanks,
Alex

when you say "upgraded" do you mean a new purchase or did you add newer parts to an older PC? If it's a new computer, I would consider placing a warranty call.

Check on your case power supply. It's not unlikely that it could go bad soon after you installed it. Invest in a UPS as well. Every pc user, let alone every simmer, should have one.

Not sure what to tell u but it does sound like a power issue to me. Is this a branded computer like a Dell or HP, or is it something u bought parts for and assembled? It would sound like that to me. If so, take a second look at that power supply. Be sure it's a 24-pin and not a 20-pin and make sure all the appropriate power cables [internal] are connected...to the correct receptacles.
