| borrow a PSU (computer power supply) from another computer and put it in the faulty computer and see if that works ok.

also it might be an overheating problem, if the processor is overclocked return it to its factory setting in the bios and deffently make sure that the CPU heat sink is in propper contact with the CPU its self, you may have to apply thermal paste to it. My System: #

| Next, in addition to what was said previously by Spencer2004, I'd look at the processor fan, a lot of the time this problem is caused by overheating. If the computer is just switching off, then it's probably an overheating problem, whereas if it's physically shutting down, check the power switch connections, and make sure the PSU can take the full load of all the components attached to the system. Brownout can cause the system to shut itself down. Last edited by DreamHazard : 05-12-2007 at 01:33 PM. |
