Hi all,
I was looking at my dad's old computer it's a 3ghz amd on an abit motherboard with i think 512mb of ram. Completely out of the blue the computer has started to lose power. The only way to power back up again is to physically remove the power cable and re-insert.
I have eliminated the possibility of a dodgey cable by trying a couple of others. Also in various sockets. Can anyone point me in the right directions with any possible problems that might cause this? IE Power pack on its way out, processor, ram etc?
One common theme is it only seems to happen when the computer is processing information which leads me to discount the power pack.
Any suggestions appreciated.
