Re: Serious Problems with pc shutting down...

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Cannot be a software problem - there is no software running when the ON
switch is pushed. But, the BIOS is being addressed at this time. From what
you said you have a hardware problem; motherboard, cpu, memory, PSU, video
card etc.

Disconnect everything you can and see what happens. Minimum is motherboard,
cpu, one memory stick, Windows boot drive, video card, mouse, keyboard.
Nothing on the USB, PS2, serial, or parallel ports (unless its the mouse or
keyboard).

OK....so heres the deal...about a month ago or so... Everytime I pressed
the
"on" button on my pc...my power supply would start....you could hear the
hard
drive start to boot up...and then BLAM!....the pc shuts off before it even
gets to the boot screen. No blue screen of death or anything....it just
shut
off. And at times it will do this up to 15 times in a row before actually
booting up all the way. Well, at first I thought it could have been the
power supply...so I bought an uber Aspire 550watt psu.....STILL SHUTS DOWN
SOMETIMES!!!!...I'm beginning to think its some type of internal software
problem maybe. Anyone got any other suggestions on the matter? Keep in
mind
that I have had this computer for almost 1.5 years now....and it just
started
doing this about a month or so ago....so that pretty much cancels out
hardware confliction. Thanks guys. Help is appreciated!
