p2 problems is it mobo or cooling?


Recommended Posts

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?

Thanks

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

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.
