larry Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 I was given a computer p2 350mhz and the guy said it would just turn off all of a sudden. Well, it happened to me. 1 thing I noticed is that there is no cooling holes that are in use. The power supply fan is blowing right on the cpu and nothing is coming out the fan ports on the case. My guess is that it gets hot and turns off?? It has ME but I put on win98se. Also the power light is flashing even when turned off. What does that mean. Could it have something to do with it?

larry Posted August 5, 2002 Author Share Posted August 5, 2002 It shut down now but when I power it up it shuts off again. My guess is it'll go on when it cools down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
username Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 it could be a heat problem, is the fan spinning, all i have seen is the power supply fan above the CPUs suck in air, not blow the blinking light is usually when the system is on standby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayp6969 Posted August 5, 2002 Share Posted August 5, 2002 it could be the heat sensor picking up heat and turning off and restarting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
larry Posted August 6, 2002 Author Share Posted August 6, 2002 actually when it shuts off I need to turn off the switch behind the computer and start it again. if I don't let it cool down when this happens it will start up for 5 sec and then die out again.
