Possible Earthing Issue

[Wantski]

I've been having an on going problem with my PC for some time, I've changed/tested almost every component in the case but no luck.

The problem is i get the Bios post screen and when it should go to load XP i get a blank screen, i then have to reboot and after some time of repeating this it will load into XP and works 100% until i turn the computer off, at which point i have to start the process over again.

When i got the computer i removed my ATX motherboard and put the new one in MINI AXT. I've been reading over the last few days about standoff issues with motherboard causing problems.

Was wondering if my problem fits in with an standoff issue???

Any help would be good as i'm running my PC 24 a day as if i turn it off it takes more time than i have to get it working again.

doesnt sound like a problem that would be caused by having no stand-offs.
but they are recommende!
without them , could short your motherboard

Thanks for the reply to clarify i do have stand-offs fitted the case.

I don't know if you've tried different memory, but I know this kind of problem can be caused by faulty memory sticks even though they show as being okay.
