Got home this afternoon and my computer won't work. I turned it on and it loaded then shut off. Waited a few minutes and tried again and it barely started and just shut off. Do you think this could be the power supply or something simple that we could do ourselves? (Also, it doesn't sound to me like the fan is running, would this make this happen?)


This was from my sister. They had the motherboard re[place 3 times. Im thinking processor overheating,cpu or a bad ground. It seeems as though once it gets runnubg it gets to hot. Check for to much dustin the fans etc...

She also just informed me she has had the computer 2 years and it just started doing it. Could it be a bad cmos batttery.


TIA

There is a good chance its the PSU. If you could list the system specs that would help allot.

So far it appears to be a bad cpu. It didnt run all the time causeing the computer to shut off from heat. My sister will hit me back tomorrow.
