I've heard of and possibly HAD that problem before - heat & shutdown -
thought of it right after I sent that reply.
I have case WIDE Open - dealing with this thing. And - right now - its
driving me NUTS - as attempting to boot up gives different results
almost every time. It DID boot to an OS select a little while ago - now
- won't boot at ALL! Claims no Boot disk or something.
I F'ing HATE HW problems - its always such a nightmare - and I can't
afford new HW. May just shove it aside soon and come back 2 it in 2
months...

Have you actually opened the system and checked for massive wads of
lint and dust and dirt caked on the CPU heatsink...power supply fan
screen, etc.?

OK - am trying Ur suggestion - I have that webpage open. Funny thing
is. I booted with the WinXP CD - and it came up with a bunch of
options on a blue screen. I actually let is sit there - while I was on
the phone with a Dr. office - but, while I was still on the phone -
its like after a period of time - the PC just Shut Down or powered
off! I find that strange - and did NOT Think that should happen while
I was at that Blue screen.
Does that sound strange to U as well? Maybe signaling a Deeper problem?
FYI - I am by No Means a PC HW expert. Although, this machine with the
problems - it actually IS One that I built a number of years ago...

Safe Mode is good when you have a device driver that has gone off the

YEah - but, that's doesn't solve the main problem - that this PC
won't boot. Also, there is CG SW that's locked to that PC - and its
Another reason why I really want to get that PC running again.
It was initially suggested that I run a ChkDsk on the boot HD in
question - the do a Windows repair - to try and get it working again
- and keep all data & SW still functional - so, this is what I am
still after.
