I have a WinME machine that keep automatically shutting down during the boot up process. The icons start to appear, then the screen disappears and its like the machine just turns it off like I clicked shutdown. Any clues? I have tried safe mode and 4 different restore points but no luck.

Check the Power Supply to make sure that it is not overloaded.

Check for overheating probleems the cpu can become heated and start to shutoff

Try using a ERD from your anti-virus,insert in floppy and run from the dos prompt to check for any viruses

Does the PC turn off, or does the screen just go black?

If it is just the screen, your monitor does not support the current video mode.

In safe mode, select display properties, and set them to the default settings.

Assuming you can now bootinto normal mode, re-install your system (motherboard chip-set) and video drivers.
