Welcome here.

Erm, would you mind telling us what exactly the problem is?

[el_nino3]

the first psu that came with unit burnt out changed that one with synergy model no. dsp-atx-250 amp it goes on for min. or two then trips off were should i start to try to repair unit when it was runing it ran great

[Peter M]

The replacement probably is WAY too weak at 250 watts.

[sportbank]

hook everything up and turn it on.

else

remove cpu fan for minute and see if it gets hot.

[Peter M]

DON'T ever remove the CPU fan, not even for a second. If the CPU is operating under that connection, it'll survive no longer than a few seconds before it dies thermal death.

[Toddly]

Yep don't even think about taking the CPU fan off. You will fry it. I too think your PSU is weak.

ECS K7S5A Pro board with AMD processor of athlon 2000xp or above will most likely require a MINIMUM power supply of 300WATTS!!!

And thats with the minimal amount of equipment!

~cdrom, hdd, floppy, 1 stick of ram, cpu, and 1 case fan~

anything more and its gonna require a 400Watt+ PSU.

Its stated in the manual itself...read!
