Computer won't stay on...

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Hi,

I usually have my pc on 24/7, but this past weekend I turned it off for
a little over 24 hours. When I tried to turn it back on, it booted up
and stayed on for maybe 2-3 minutes, then abruptly turned off almost as
though it lost power. So, I tried turning it on again, but it would
only stay on for about 1 second.

I immediately thought it might be the power supply, but the green LED
that indicates "power" stayed on. So, I found out that if I let it sit
for an hour or so, it will turn back on for that 2-3 minute time period
and then shut off.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
PlainDave
