my pc shuts down without warning when i render a video file,burn dvd in nero or convert a large file to different format. the cpu is at 100%. (not always happening in nero either)
i think it may be overheating or power supply failure or something.
what is strange though is that it wont switch on from main power button on front of pc until i change the plug sockets over at wall and/or unplug supply from back of unit.(its almost as if the front button doesnt exist..even though the ethernet nic is lit up on back of machine.)
the fan appears to be working and have cleaned all dust from inside as well.
i have 704mb ram 2.16ghz processor xp media centre.
i am going to upgrade ram soon…but was wanting to resolve this issue first.
pc only started to do this recently…and have burned dvd’s rendered video etc in past with no problems.
any suggestions you nice folks on here have would be much appreciated.
cheers.
