    Well, I do have to power down the CPU before it will boot again if I want it to pass POST. If I just power on after it shuts off, it shuts off again before POST.

    How would I flash bios if it shuts off? Wouldnt It be risking my board if it shuts off while updating....

    What ram do you have and what voltage does it require?
    If you can make it into bios make sure its giving it enough voltage or it wont boot.
    I know you said you made it in 1 time and set the voltage.
    Try setting it higher.

    I have G.Skill 3x2GB PC3-12800 RAM, its like this set: (RAM) but my set is only 1600 and runs 8-8-8-21 timings, at 1.6-1.65v. When I booted almost into windows I was using 1.64 V. It just did the same thing for me, but using 1.7v and 9-9-9-25 timings, so the voltage increase and laxer timings didnt help. Im using 1T, should I try 2T?

    I just pray that when the PSU failed it didnt take anything with it....

    Go on up to 1.9 and see what it does.
