Hey there ProFox gang, I got a bit of a Hardware problem - and I am no HW expert by any stretch of the imagination. That being said - I did build from scratch my last 3 PC's - the 1st 2 being Athlon based and my last one going back to the Intel chips. So - here's my problem. About a month or so ago I noticed this problem with my Desktop PC - that I started finding the PC had shutdown if I left it on for a while. (Most all of my stuff these days I do on my Crappy Alienware laptop - so I haven't really truly depended on my Desktop PC's for a while). Then, a few weeks ago - it would just power off while I was in the middle of doing things. Finally - recently it came to the point where the PC would no longer boot at all. When I hit the power - I hear the fans in the PC come on for about a second or LESS - and then it stops. So - now its completely dead. Before it completely died - during the time when it would just shut down after a period of time - I even looked around for some kind of SW that would analyze HW problem. But, all I was finding was SW to analyze viruses, adware, bots & such - obviously not what I was looking for. Of course, now - using SW to try and analyze the problem - its no longer an option. So - any HW types here - who might have a clue as to what would cause this kind of problem? Do I start by pulling out Memory sticks? Or could it be a power supply problem? The PC had been fairly powerful. Some of the spec's are: Quad Core Q6600 (something like that - not sure - it's a bit old) WinXP 64 Pro 4 GB Ram (a pair of 2GB sticks) SATA HD GForce video card (the original Quadro card died - so I went cheaper) Again - any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
