Hi,
My Gateway Media Center 610X
(http://support.gateway.com/s/PC/TVMediaCenter/2900210/2900210nv.shtml)
just started shutting down on its own. Sometimes it goes for couple
days without powering down, but on some days "Boom" just powers off
with no reason. There does not seem to be a specific software that is
running when it does that, in fact, sometimes there is nothing running
in the background.
I have noticed that sometimes when you power it back up, it powers off
in the next 10 seconds. Also sometimes, you can even turn the computer
on, you have to unplug the power cord from the computer wait 2 secs and
plug it back. It works then. I changed the power cord and the outlet
that is hooked up to but still the same. Have not downloaded/installed
anything lately either. No memory upgrades either. I reinstalled the
video card and the DVD drivers but no change either.
Any thoughts (Power supply, memory, drivers gone bad)? Are there any
other newsgroups that you think I should post this?
Thanks
