1.	Solve : My computer shuts off on its own...?
Answer» OK to those of you who were saying it was the CPU heat sink combo, you win.... I was just about to start shopping for a new MB and I decided to take out the heat sink and clean it and the CPU again and put more paste and try it again and it worked.. I think i might have not had the heat sink securely attached to the MB.. Now there is a new problem, It will load past the bios PAGE but it comes up with a message that says "NTLDR is missing press Ctrl+Alt+Del to RESTART". I am just about to rip everything apart to find my XP disk and see if I cant repair it. I'll drop a line later to let you all know how it went...If you have a floppy drive (longshot, I know), follow these instructions: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/305595/ Once you're back in the OS, you can mess with the NTLDR, ntdetect.com, and/or boot.ini files on your hard drive.Quote from: Paul51480 on December 18, 2008, 02:47:44 PM OK to those of you who were saying it was the CPU heat sink combo, you win....

All is well now I went into CMOS and the TWO hard drives were reversed in the boot order so i switched them back and it STARTED right up the way it should... Thank you so very very much to everyone who pitched in to help me out and Thank God that's over.....
