Computer is turning off
My computer (Pent 4, Win XP) has begun to turn itself off without any
warning. Power is fine and it happens whether I'm on the net or not, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 10, sometimes?

The two basic scenarios are either something is overheating, or more likely,
your power supply unit is failing. -- DaveW "JI" wrote in message ... My computer (Pent 4, Win XP) has begun to turn itself off without any warning. Power is fine and it happens whether I'm on the net or not, sometimes after 5 minutes, sometimes after 10, sometimes?

If it is actually shutting off it could also be a lose PCI card.
