Okay this started a few days ago. Basically what happened was I went and rebooted my computer, and upon restarting it saw the Windows XP splash screen and immediately turned off. I went to turn it right back on, and it wouldn't start. So I unplug it and then hit the power button to clear out any remaining power. Plug it back in, and it turns on then turns off at the Splash screen again. I retrace my steps from before, except this time I go into Safe Mode. No problems, I reboot and go into Windows and it boots normally, then as I am playing CS after a while it just up and shuts down. Gotta do the whole unplug thing to get it to start back up.

Sorry for the lengthy description, I am positive this isn't sasser and am pretty sure I need a new PS. I was just hoping to get some sort of feedback from you guys to see what you thought.

Looks like the power supply is dying out to me as well. Do you have a spare one to test with?

Well I replaced the PS tonight and so far not a single problem. I guess it turns out that was it.
