If you are using your computer and it, for no reason at all, shuts off and then starts back up, the problem could be a failing power supply. Sometimes when a power supply is bad, it will run normally for a while and then turn off, then when the computer restarts it will run normally again and then shut off, so on and so forth. It may run normally for hours at a time. When my computer did this, I could not figure out what was wrong. I finally broke down and took it to a computer repair shop. I explained what the problem was. He listened with no indication that he knew what the problem was. After I left, he didn't even test anything but instead replaced the power supply and ran it all night. I could have done that. |
