| 66594 | 2002-07-29 23:41:00 | Can any one out there help, this is my daughters computer, it has a problem on starting up and when it starts up it stays only for about 5 minutes then it turns it's self off, (does not go through the proper closing procedure). On restarting it, it tries to start but wont, it's like starting a car with a 1/2 flat battery, doesn't quite make it. the other thing it dose is if it's left on after it has turned it's self off, it fires it's self up on it own accord. | Baldone (1259) | ||
| 66595 | 2002-07-30 00:02:00 | better describe the exact process, including any error messages. What operating system? (win 98, ME etc) When booting up, explain the exact things that happen. |

| 66597 | 2002-07-30 00:53:00 | off the top of my head (damn flue) it sounds like overheating. check all the fans are working, cpu isn't filled will dust, the air inlets into case are not blocked. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 66598 | 2002-07-30 04:38:00 | Godfather/Elwin Way/Tweak'e, Thanks for the response on the problem. The system is windows 98 and I will have to contact her re how it fires up and what fault msg it brings up, she is in Lower Hutt so once I have that I will be back, once again Thanks for all the info so far. |
