The computer would run for about 1 min and shut off. So I took the PSU out and tested shorting the green atx connector to ground. I had a fan connected to one of the molex connectors. It would run for a max of 1.5 min and shut off. If I took a momentary contact switch and placed it across pin 14/15, the power supply would come on and go right off. If I kept pressing the switch repeatedly, the PSU would keep running and power the fan, but would shut off after I quit pressing the switch. I already have a replacement for that PSU, but I would like to be able to fix it. Does anyone have any ideas on what part of the PSU is dead/dying?
