[pchelpers] Re: a question

 A  faulty power supply - check all the  wired connecters -  if not- 
memory sticks can do a lot of things making the computer act very strangely 
indeed did you take out the memory sticks and put it in another computer see 
if it does the same thing?   I had a Asus tab touching the side of the ram 
once ahh that caused me a lot of headaches until I bent it back. it was fine 
after that -ram is very touchy sometimes.   Maybe the fan on the CPU slows 
down  too much or runs erratically  -it will shut the computer down  you 
could adjust the speed in your bios check to see how you got it set  you can 
look at those options- Jackie

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
