I just now got DSL at your house again, after a lengthy hiatus (yay!!! ). I’m developing a problem, though.
Now that I have a new damn Internet connection, I can’t manage to get my computer to be effective right! I’m developing a really strange trouble… it’s been happening from the time I put my personal new DVD-R in… every once in a while (random intervals), the computer just powers off… no caution, no nothing. WE tried everything…. took apart the electricity supply, looked to get a short with abandoned power ends… viewed for loose plugs… anything… to no utilize.
I found one thing that was unusual. When I would obtain the computer to electric power up, then play while using cables coming out of the power furnish, sometimes I could get it to disconnect. So I opened in club penguin the power source and pulled in some slack on the cables to ensure they weren’t pulling for the soldered ends (although many of the soldering seems fine).
After putting the electricity supply back collectively and testing every thing out, it appeared fine…. so MY SPOUSE AND I put everything to come back together. then about 15 minutes later, the computer de-activate again LOL!!! I took every little thing apart again and put my unused cables outdoor the box. It’s now been running just the summer hours with very little problems.
I’m lost. Has anyone ever before seen anything such as this before What am i allowed to do
Thanks a lot.

Could be the computer plugged right into a UPS or something else that can smoothly regulate the electricity
Playing using your power connections is most likely nothing, just you’re wasting the required time for the trouble to occur without treatment. I’m assuming you happen to be using WinXP. Rt simply click my computer, click properties. Click on the advanced tab. Click the settings hook for Startup and Recovery. Uncheck Automatically Restart.
5 bucks says you’re receiving a BSOD, and WinXP by default is determined to reboot with getting one. Doing the above will let you see the BSOD.
Not surprisingly, if you want to assure it isn’t your DVD-R’s physical joints, then disconnect it completely from the system and see if the problem comes backside.
I’m using Windows 2000 Server, and I do have a UPS. I determined the problem. It had been the power cables that (sorta). I knew the idea had something to do with them because Used to do a few tests where I turned laptop computer on and quit it running for a number of minutes, then jiggled across the wires to are shut off in me.
So here’s what it had been… I had devote a cold-cathode light while i built this sucker. Properly, with all your wire handling inside adding the DVD-R, I accidentally unplugged one of the ends from this cold-cathode switch, which would touch possible when all the cables were jiggled in addition to short it released. I couldn’t see it happening for the reason that switch is stuck between my floppy and hard disks. Anyways, I found the particular loose wire and plugged it on the switch. Subsequently things got SERIOUSLY weird.
I might turn on the device and it wouldn’t switch on! The motherboard would indicate so it was getting energy though. So I’d should hold the electric power switch for SOME seconds until the electricity was killed, subsequently try again… in order to no avail. I found that merely turned on that cold-cathode light laptop computer would turn upon, but when WHEN I then turned this light off, the complete computer would de-activate.
Frustrated using the whole mess, I scrapped the light altogether and place the case back together. I can’t observe the light anyhow, because the case’s acrylic panel is right facing the pedestal involving my desk. LOL.
I’ll discover where my short is while i have time. For the present time, I need to access work!!!
