lately my pc has started to shut down alot.
It will just shutdown, like it loses power, but green light on mobo still lit up.
After it shuts down, pressing the start button has no effect at all. It is like the machine needs to rest for a while. Anything from 2hrs to 24hrs later it will turn on again. Now it will either start normally, or it will not find the keyboard. After a couple of restarts it finds the keyboard and starts normally again. Now everything is fine, until is shuts down again.
The only thing I can think of is the power supply maybe going bad. It is a 400W unit.
It is running a ASUS P4R800-V Mobo, with a 3Gig CPU, 1500MB RAM, ATI X800XT Platinum Graphics card and a Audigy 2 ZS sound card.
Also has two harddrives and two DVD-ROMS
Anyone out there have any idea what this might be..and what I can do??
