Sudden current cut-off
LockedDear all,
I have a problem in a Dell desktop pc in my office running Windows 2000 Professional with Service Pack 4.
While switching on the pc, a message says “Alert! Previous shut down due to thermal event. Strike F1 to continue or strike F2 to run utility setup” is shown on the monitor.
The BIOS configuaration is then thoroughly checked and adjusted to its default settings.
After the POST and Windows boot-up are successfully run, the current is “completely cut-off” in a sudden. Sometimes, the current cut-off incident also occured during the POST & Windows boot-up process.
Is it due to the failure of power supply unit in the computer? Any other causes that may contribute to this sudden current cut-off?
Appreciate your valuable solution to the problem.
Thank you very much.
