Soldato
So, few weeks back before I was unibound, turned itself off. A restart later, the fans were spinning up but nothing on screen. Tested graphics and ram which were fine. Tried taking bios battery out and some other stuff to no avail, kept doing same thing. The lights were on but no one was at home. Assumed problem was with mb/cpu so decided to upgrade to i5. Just after ordering parts I tried pc, it worked fine. Typical piece of (insert names here)
So fast forward to today and with my new mb/cpu/ram/cpu cooler bundle now a few weeks old, it decided to turn itself off again (and when turning back on, it turns on for 10 seconds, turns off and loops) and the only things in here that are the same are hdd (but no time to get to OS screen) graphics card (all green lights) and my corsair modular 520w. Is it dying?? The problem is intimitent, but its done it twice this evening and during nothing partically hard on it (just ie and msn, not even a game)
What do you lot think, what can I do to prove it, worth an RMA (got receipt somewhere!)
