Hi Folks,
I'll try and be quick as this computer tends to shut-down a lot.
Recently I've been having problems with my PC either failing to boot, or 'dying' after about 5 mins or so of use. I thought this was a problem with the motherboard, so went and got a shiny new one (complete with new processor and memory as my old stuff doesn't work with it) and stuck it in.
Anyway, in the mean-time I've been using my wife's PC, and tonight it started to exhibit the same behaviour as my old PC, though the 'hangs' were slightly different. The same stuff happening to 2 different PC's leads me to suspect the problem might be fluctuations in the domestic supply. Is there any way I can check this? It was fine up until approx a month ago, but as far as I can tell, nothings changed.
Also, changes in the supply don't appear to be obvious (i.e. the lights don't dim when the PC's have problems). Any suggestions?
Cheers!
Leigh
