Answer» Thanks jason2074 & murphy1 for your replies. Sorry for missing in action for a couple of days due to my travel plans. TODAY when I switched on the machine, it kept rebooting 3-4 times until finally there was no power supply. I removed & reinserted the power cable to EXPERIENCE the same thing. Guess this gives us reasons to suspect a failing PSU. GOING to get one, will replace & update tomorrow.I'd borrow 1 1st to make sure it's in fact the culprit...Quote rebooting 3-4 times until finally there was no power supply On what hardware components installed(ex.RAM)? You might wanna check your CMOS battery also before or after replacing PSU. Replaced my PSU & there have done 10 reboots or so, but as of now no self reboots. Keeping my fingers crossed for this to be the final solution to the problem. Now, in case I wana give away this desktop & do not want to format the HDD; what all should I take care & remove, apart from copying & then securely deleting my files with CCleaner Secure Deletion DOD 5220.22-M (3 passes). You could change the settings in CCleaner to Gutman - 35 passesKeep the HDD....thats what i do.Thanks reddevilggg & patio for your replies. Quote from: patio on October 19, 2010, 06:38:11 AM Keep the HDD....thats what i do. Here is the problem, the guy interested wants the windows as it is with softwares loaded. How can I delete my profiles from the windows? System Properties>Advanced>User Profiles will be of any help?
