Is the message i am seeing (and have quoted) the standard message where a user does NOT have a back up psu connected ? In which case i will get the PSU checked out . |

Hi, Forget UPS altogether, that is absolutely nothing to do with it. if you don't have it,............ in control panel /power management / ups , it automatically says service is currently stopped? 1. check all your fans are clean and working properly. overheating is normally the main reason for shutdowns 2. check your ram is enough 256mb at least for xp and not gone bad. 3. check that you power supply unit (PSU) is not faulty PS. make sure that all your ram / video cards are pressed home firmly This post has been edited by bobhome: Apr 3 2006, 08:14 AM -------------------- REGARDS
