You mentioned you cannot keep Windows on, which Is why I suggested you put another fan next to the computer to cool it down

POWER Supply is failing.

Before you draw the conclusion that your power supply has failed, make sure it is connected properly and set to the correct voltage. So don’t immediately run out and get a new power supply until you are sure that the old one is not any good. You don’t have to be a technician to detect some of the signs that your power supply is on the way out, but you do have to pay attention to your computer.

If you can not hear the fans turning, or if your system is hot , you have a problem.

Spontaneous reboots and lock ups are a warning sign. If your system, on occasion, decides to shut down on its own accord, it may be the power supply. A system that freezes up is a sign as well. These are often DEFENSIVE mechanisms on the part of your motherboard.

Unhook all of your peripherals and try your system. If it works properly, then it might be one of your accessories that may be causing the problem rather than the PSU.


I AGREE.........

Also consider the age of your computer, bulging capacitors on the motherboard could also be a sign of a failing motherboard.......... ok guys, i know its been a while since someone replied in this thread but i just wanted to GIVE an update that i found the same power supply on ebay and i bought it, and i just hooked it up and it works perfectly Good News indeed...
Thanx for letting us know.np, thanks for all the helpDoes it totally shut off and restart or does it just not boot through to windows ? If it's actually shutting off yes I would say maybe a mother board issue, or power supply problem. I would smell your power supply and see if it smells hot or if you see any black marks AROUND it - like char.. Maybe a bad ram chip or it's too hot. If it's too hot you can try to put it in a refrigerator even. Watch for moisture though! Also, if not losing power - I would say a os boot problem. Let me know what happens,Adam


[Removed. Do not advertise on our forum]How can something smell 'hot' lol.. Unless it burns your nose when you smell it i guess In case you guys need to know he solved his issues days ago......
However...carry on.I know... lol
