Weird problem


Recommended Posts

A friend of mine's computer has this wierd problem, it will randomly go into a hibernate/standby sort of state (even though ACPI isn't enable-setup as standard pc in XP). It will do this with no warning or pattern, sometimes while playing a game, sometimes while web surfing, some time while burning a cd. Anyway it seems as though the monitor loses the signal and the rest of the computer is running but it ceases all fucntioning (ie. power is on, fans are running, but any downloads or had drive activity stops). I seem to think its a power supply problem, or maybe a video card.

Any thoughts ?
