Hi, I mailed the list last week about needing a power supply because the one I had caused the computer to spontaneously reboot every so often (between 1s and a feww hours).
Well, I'm currently borrowing a supply from a friend, and last night it turned off all by itself after a minute or so - hadn't finished booting. And a few days ago it turned off when my daughter accidently kicked the side of the box. In both cases i had to switch the power supply off for a while to let the caps discharge before switching it on again before the power switch at the front of the computer would work. For still more, possibly related, weird behaviour, the computer had booted up with a music CD in the drive. After about ten minutes of being on, the music CD spontaneously started to play, as if I had just inserted it into the CD drive. Any ideas? -- Carl Cerecke, Assistant Lecturer|email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Department of Computer Science, |Phone: +64 3 364 2987 ext. 7859 University of Canterbury, |Fax: +64 3 364 2569 Private Bag 4800, |http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~cdc Christchurch, New Zealand. |
