Right recieved it and been testing today it's a Shuttle SS59GV2 (an Intel 775 Socket with compatibility for Dual Core Processors) - AGP8x.

It's running:
Radeon X1600 Pro 128MB
2 x 1GB Memory (although one does not work so its only running @ 1x1GB)
80GB Sata
DVDROM
Card Reader
3.0Ghz P4 775 Socket

A shuttle shouldnt have any problems with this at all.

Anyway using another machine i've deduced that:
- One memory piece is faulty (this has now been removed)
- The graphics card is fine
- The hard drive is fine
- The DVDROM drive is fine
- The PSU is fine

The only two components I cannot test are the CPU & Motherboard, as my other SFF pc is a 478 Socket and so I cannot test the 775 socket in it obviously.

I tested the Shuttles PSU on my other Small Form Factor machine (no problems), tested the memory in my other machine (no problems - except one was faulty - now removed), the graphics card was tested and ran fine, the hard drive and DVD Rom were fine.

I even replaced the CMOS battery with a new CR2032 Lithium battery as i've found this to cause a similiar problem before if faulty. - no luck.

The PC powers on perfectly without any signal errors / beeps for aproximately 6 seconds and then powers straight off.

What do you think I should do? - Do I buy a new Shuttle barebones and stick the working components in it or do i just chuck it and flog the spare parts (not really worth doing).
