Kohum Posted August 27, 2009 Posted August 27, 2009 Does the power light on your pc blink, after the comp has shut down? Do you have a DMM ? My first guess is your PS is out of it's life and time to buy a new one. If you open up HP, you will see the wattage and other tech details necessary to buy a new one. It should be pretty cheap.
Desi Cartman Posted August 28, 2009 Author Posted August 28, 2009 Thanks Guys ! I disconnected the power cable for 30 mins and then started it, since then I havent had any issues. I'll try the above suggestions if it happens again
Texy Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 I'm still sure it's a heating problem... fans are not running at full capacity causing it to overheat... you probably need a new motherboard
ShermanAve Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 varun is right. your RAM is bad. Same thing happened to my desktop CPU. I had to replace the RAM for $20.
jf1gp_1 Posted August 28, 2009 Posted August 28, 2009 oh boy if you still have a floppy drive its time for you to dump the machine and move on.
