I’ll try and keep this as short as possible. PC (running XP Pro SP2,P4,512RAM,80G)started switching off at intermitant periods.Could always reboot straight away (ruling out overheating).No pattern to switching off times. Swapped power supply,checked memory,swapped memory slots,reset bios to default,antivirus check (manual and online version).Each time computer would switch off again eventually.
I then started computer in safe mode and had NO problems. PC on for 4 days in safe mode no probs.Concluded software prob so reinstalled windows,switched off again, reformatted drive and then clean installed windows, it switched of again!! HELP. Why was it OK in safe mode??
PS Checked all fans and heatsink for reliability, dust, etc.Everything OK.
