| 426013 | 2006-02-01 06:19:00 | This dell computer shuts down intermittenly, sometimes when it shuts down, it cannot be restarted. Has to wait for a long time for it to cool down before it starts normally. Have checked and confirmed that all the fans are functioning normally. But found that the CPU has got only a heat-sink with no cooling fan attached. It certainly is not the standard Intel CPU heat sink. Is this Dell's standard cooling system? Cheers. |

Terrific aren't they? :eek: Leave the lid off, point a household fan at it and run it like that for a bit - that will tell you if heat is the problem or not. |

| 426016 | 2006-02-01 09:52:00 | Check the PSU. I have a 4600, and it wouldnt turn on, and when it would run, it would turn off randomly. Put in a new 400wat PSU, and problem fixed. Daniel |

| 426018 | 2006-02-01 10:31:00 | I thought they did as well, but i was looking around on google, and found out that the deminesion (Sorry about my spelling) 4600 used a standard PSU. Just check on the net before plugging in The one it came with was only 250wat (For a P4 3ghz).... Daniel |
