The reason why it shuts down is probably because the motherboard is fucked up or the motherboard can't recognise some components like the videocard/harddisk/processor/ram memory.
Good luck, and i bet the computer shop is not going to pay you the broken parts. Because you installed it yourself...

You're right, but you're wrong too.
The shop is indeed going to pay, the IT up here is different from the Shop I brought it from, they're actually helping me how to get them to pay. He gave me an old PSU which looks like the old one I had, and we fixed some new cables so it would look like the original. Then I'll send it straight into Fujitsu Siemens instead of sending it to the shop I brought it from and from there to Fujitsu Siemens. WASTE of monies that way..
They said I had 5 years on the guaranty.. And I thought it was 2?! And I brought it 3 years ago.. So I was kinda confused, but after all.. That idiot guy at IT said he wouldn't take any monies for the job he did.. But when we were done, I said he could keep the new one(the one that sparkled) until I got my PC back from Fujitsu. But then he said that bastard; 'nah, I'll keep it for the work'
If we didn't do what they helped me with, I'd have to pay the trip from Svalbard and that would cost me like €70 + Buying a new motherboard which is like.. €300-€500? thb, cba to do so..
Yeah, trying to start it again after that first spark was pretty.. not smart.. But here's the funny thing.. When he checked the PSU today, there wasn't any broken or so with it.. Even after some big flame and the spark that came out of it. So now, I have this shitty old PSU from them while they have my new PSU that I just brought.. I could of complained but I cba after what they helped me with. heh
Monies ain't the problem! Just saying^
