Oh, ok, so it is really powering down! I thought dead as in not responding but still breathing :) This is probably a hardware problem. Power supply maybe? I know this sounds silly, but check the supply plug, at the PC and wall socket. If you have time - boot into your BIOS and leave the machine, see if it still dies. Or boot with install CD/DVD and run memtest until it dies (or not) E-Mail disclaimer: http://www.sunspace.co.za/emaildisclaimer.htm -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
