Subject: [access-uk] Computer powering off.
Hi guys I'm becoming unglued, hopefully somebody can come up with new
suggestions.
Backround:
I came back from being out of town for a few days. Only to find my
computer switched off.
Having checked with the other residents that no electrical faults had
occured in the house as a whole I turned it on and got on my merry way.
It's done it several times now and I can't see a pattern to it.
Of course it's warmer outside than we're used to, but it does it in the
day and at night. When it's colder at night as I've been monitoring
external temperatures.
I've held off from psu and cpu intensive tasks, bit of browsing, ftp
client running, email, messenger the odd winamp window.
PC spec on request grins.
I've tryed leaving the side panel off, the side panel has a mounted fan
in it, I've a 650wt psu in the thing with very large fans.
My dad's coming round tomorrow, I'd like him to check my sockets and
outlets in my bedroom. To make sure there's not a power spike going up
and down on there event logs have nothing to indicate an error accorded
before shutdown, even bought Sandra v7 pro to test my machine and it says
I'm ok...
Can anyone suggest things, before I go into the world of, I havent' got a
clue why my pc's switching off, so lets go insane at the thought of
buying parts to replace and see if it's the cause and throw money down
the toilit...
