    Flashing on and off at startup

    Hey all!
    I plugged my computer in and wiped the drive before selling it, turned it off and unplugged it.
    The buyer took it home turned it on and would boot up and down over and over
    Whats going on?
    It begins to boot up and shuts down then repeats
    Thank you
    (Cant figure out how to attach a video)

        The buyer has screwed something.Hard to tell without it in front of me.
        Get it back off the buyer and look at it, is my advice.

            i wiped it on windows
            I have the pc back and cant see an issue, nothing unplugged
            He was convinced the PSU was broken, he took it into a shop who said it was the MOBO although the mobo turns on when i boot it

              I would be reseating every connection,on the Mobo, including Ram, and remove the cpu, and check every pin with a bright light and Magnifying glass.Motherboards can go at any time, but you need to check every alternative first.
