Try a new PSU. Don't worry if the wattage rating is higher, it won't cause any problems, that rating is the maximum output. So as long as the PSU can put out at least what the current one will, you'll be fine.

Post back if it works or not.

had a similar problem a while back. The problem wasnt the PSU it was the fact that the power button cable going to the motherboard wasnt in all the way. Go through the case and make sure every cable is fastened securely. Power, board, IDE/SATA, etc.

Have something happening that is just as odd with our old box that was at XMission. wouldn't stay powered on with everything connected, as soon as I unplugged the network cable, it stays on. It's something with the particular switch I'm using, I plug it into another and it works no problem.

ok i took all of the suff out ang gutt the thing and put it back to gether and still sam thing now all i need to do is try new psu and see if that works... thank you guy ill let you all know soon thanks all

What form factor? You mentioned it's a shuttle, is the case a mini or micro ATX? Or does it take a standard PSU?
