Heres what happened:
im listening to some music one lazy saturday afternoon when the system freezes. so I pushed the reset button to restart, in my surprise the cpu has no power what so ever (no lights: hdd led, power, etc.).
i tried to disassemble the hardwares thinking that something might have a loose connection, i got it to power on once again but after few minutes the system hangs anew, tried to reset again and the same results: no power.
the last thing I did was to format my drive and make a clean install, everything works fine until the 3rd reboot and everything was like before again system hangs just a few minutes of operation.
One thing I have observed is that when i unplugged the power source for about 3 hours and put it back there is a power when I push the power button but still when it reaches windows if freezes, reset it then no power, unplug it for 3 hours then power is back again im really really frustrated.
could this be a hardware failure? im suspecting the motherboard or the memory is causing this, what do you think? thanks for any help you might extend to me.........................thank you in advance..........
