My P.C may run fine for hours but occasionally the windows (XP) shutdown screen appears & if I do not restart, swithches off itself.
It also switches itself on randomly & gets past the memory check & switches off again.
Do not know how often this happens.
Have noticed that after it tries to boot itself, I have to push the power on button 2-3 times before it works.
The only original components left that have not been changed are:
The case, the 1700+ chip & the 256mb DDR memory.
I have tried:
2 different motherboards, 3 graphics cards (AGP),
3 power supplies (300w), 2 modems (1 int 1 ex),
2 OS (XP & ME), tried onboard sound instead of SB live 5.1.
Have not tried Semtex yet but might soon. |

Update.............
Fitted new memory chip...ok for 10hrs then switched off (bringing up shutdown box first)
Tried disabling ASPI but H/D would not boot.
One thing I omitted to say, (because it's so unbelievable I'm not sure it really happened) is that whilst I was in the Bios screen, trying various things, the XP shutdown box came up & P.C. switched off.......weird eh! |

XP Shutdown prompt from Bios? Sounds more like a built in high Temp shutdown which in some cases may resemble a Windows shutdown Prompt and can occur from bios. |
