My Gateway Media center computer (Win XP) does the following:
– it boots up fine and after 2 or 5 minutes it shuts down by itself. If I try to turn it on again, it doesn’t. I have to unplug it and plug it back in in order to get the power back.
– After it starts booting up again, it doesn’t get any further and shuts down again.
I have tried many things (uninstalling the SW I believe caused the problem, use a different power surge, try to do F8 during the booting process, etc). The machine shuts down too fast and doesn’t give me enough time to get to the configuration screen.
I’ve been told that it is probably the internal power of the machine.
Any suggestions?
