Power up for 30-45 seconds, then shuts down. Frustrating!!!
lol...sounds almost like an electrolytic Cap has taken a dump...Sitting at work, just poured a cup of coffee and am trying to figure out why a system board from a Sun Microsystem Server keeps failing. Power up for 30-45 seconds, then shuts down. Frustrating!!!

This day and age, they use the cheapest POS Caps on equipment and those are usually the first thing to go. I've repaired quite a few boards with a new .75 cent Cap from DigiKey, saving a hundred dollars or so
Ahh bummer...hopefully you can get it figured out!
In my case, when a board goes, first thing I do is eyeball it for a bulging cap
Hang the bastard from a tree limb and work it over with a firearm of your choice!
