Hi all, I hope you can please help
We are currently housesitting for a mate and his wife. My girlfriend asked could we use her computer while she is away, just for internet and her emails etc.
It turned itself off earlier, so she restarted and it worked ok
Then about 30 minutes later it turned itself off again
We've tried to restart it, however the power indicator on the front just flickers intermittently, it makes the sound like the HDD spins up but wont keep spinning. I've taken off the side panel and the fan over the processor seems to be spinning fine, but it just wont "bite" properly so that it starts up
Its just a bog standard desktop pc, probably pentium 3/4 or a celeron, i'd say with 512mb ram or maybe only 256, I'm really not sure. Its running Windows XP Home (I think)
PLease help
They get back Sunday and we need to fix it by the time they get home
cheers
desperate
