Mine does the same, plus the sound card driver needs to be reinstalled.
This all started after a windows update this past week. This is the
second time it has happened to me

I have a problem with my computer too, it is driving me crazy because
all of a sudden it will shut off completely. The only way i can get it
too start again is if i turn of the main power supply for a few seconds.
MY computer is plugged into an extension cord and when it shuts off,
everything else is fine. I had originaly thought that it could be a
power struggle because i do infact have another extension cord plugged
into an extension strip... oops... However, the reason why I am still
hesitant to say that it is a power struggle is because it has been
working fine for about 4 years! Also i read that it could a virus,
just recently and after the random shut downs, when i booted my
computer, i would get a pop up from norton antivirus saying that it has
tried to start internet worm protection but was unsuccesful. And again
the reason why I am still hesitant by this being the cause, I also have
a terribly hot room averaging about 80 - 85 degrees... ( i like it hot)
and on this same page i read that computers are terribly picky about
heat. I can hear my fans working but when i turn it on, i always hear
a clicking sound and then it goes away. And also during use i hear the
pitch of the fans change. It is terribly loud and then it gets louder
and then softer and can repeat countless of times. Also there is a lot
of dust build up by the ducts at the back. I usually have the problem
when i initially start it up. IT has become increasingly worse and
more frequent. However, after I have had to restart it many times,
today was the most (about 5 or 6 can't possibly be good for the
computer) It will run fine until i shut it off. So please if any onf
you are having the same problems or could diagnose my computer please
tell me! And if you still need more info to help me, I will gladly
give you more info and details you can email me at (e-mail address removed)
THANKS! I'm new here so sorry if i posted this in the wrong place!
And because of that please don't get mad at me if you see this twice!
THANKS!
