Calling any PC Technicians / Nerds
spy:
We had a problem with the PC in work, kept locking up and or shutting itself down.
Turned out to be a faulty PSU. I fixed a fair few PC's in my time but know naff all about electronics, maybe someone on here does. I have also seen PC's that wont boot up when too cold. A hairdryer in the PSU will allow them to boot, again a faulty PSU. Something about capacitor effect or something springs to mind but that may be something else.
Yours probably isnt a PSU but if you can borrow one its gotta be worth a go, not exactly rocket science to fit!
I would start with that, some CPU paste and a new heatsink and fan. Should be able to replace all them for £20 but buy some heat paste if the fan doesnt come with it!

is it something like a bad seting in the bios? I have blocked the shutdown temp on mine as it was set at something like 40c.

Sorry for thread revival but I think it's Fixed :D :D :D :D :D :D
He's added some thermal paste and reseated the heatsink (It was badly crooked) and it's been playing videos, and music, without hassle :D
I'm happy :D :D :D :D
