Hi, all suggestions greatly appreciated.
My pc was running fine yesterday, and suddenly shut down (no blue screen - like pulling the plug out!) when it wasn't really under heavy load. I turned on again, and it got as far as the black windows screen before it shut down again.
Yesterday was warm, but not unusually hot.
This morning, I turned on and it ran for about or so 30 minutes before shutting down again. I have had the side off, and when I turn the PC on, all the fans are running properly, but it will not run for more than a few seconds.
In the past month, I have uprated the power supply (to 450W),and replaced a faulty graphics card. I have not touched the cpu (AMD1900+) for about 3 years
I run XP SP2, live behind a router, and have scanned with spybot and Adaware in the past few days. NAV2005 is on autoupdate too.
Sorry, I have no way of reporting temperatures that I know about.
Please can anyone suggest anything I can check to get this PC running again, as I am running out of ideas!
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
White.
