Help! My computer will not stay on!!!
This is kind of a long story...Please someone tell me what to do! About 3 weeks ago my psu went out and I brought my PC to work to have our IT guy fix it. He replaced it with a Rhino ATX 12v 450 watt power supply (it had whatever the standard 12 v 300 watt for hp is). My PC is a Compaq SR2180NX with Vista Home Premium. Anyway, after he fixed it, it would come on, but now it will not stay on! It will boot up and stay on for MAYBE 5 minutes and then it will go blank. The power light is still on, but it will not do anything. I have to hold the power button down for a few seconds before it will go off. If I try to turn it on for the next hour or so (sometime longer), it will only boot up to the start screen and do the same thing. Sometimes the light will only blink and the fans start to turn but they go off almost immediately. AgHHH! I have tried everything. I have replaced the Bios Battery. I have cleaned my DIMM. I have cleaned out all of the dust, checked my pins....I don't know a lot about the "guts" of the computer so I am asking for HELP! The other day I was able to get it to stay on for almost an hour. I was playing solitaire and it shut off in the middle of the game. This is driving me crazy. Do you think it could be a bad power supply? |
