Thanks for the replies. I did have a graphics card installed and after the
problems I took it out incase it was that causing the issue. It is now
running off my on board graphics card. Any more ideas? p.s, the hoover did
not come into contact with the pc only the case after it had been taken off.
Where would i get compressed air to actually get rid of dust from fans etc?
Regards,
Maria

Hi,
I have a desktop pc approx 5 years old. It has Windows XP Home edition with
service pack 2. It has a Intel (R) Celeron (R) CPU 3.06GHz and 992mb RAM. It
also has a Foxconn 661 7MI motherboard.
It has been working fine and yet the other day it suddenly seemed to go off.
This had happened before when it had overheated and after I hoovered/cleaned
it all out inside the tower it then contuinued to work fine once again.
You say "hoovered." Does that mean you used a vacuum cleaner inside
the computer?
If so, be sure never to do that again in the future. You are playing
with fire. A vacuum cleaner can zap your computer with static
electricity and make it stop working permanently.
The way to remove dust inside the case is to blow out the dust with a
can of compressed air (normally outdoors).
