Sounds like your memory controller is hosed. I'll give you $50 for that hunk of junk :)

This computer has 2 hard drives, the original with the original Vista install, and a 2nd that has XP installed. I boot it and run it from the XP drive. Right before I went on vacation I noticed it seemed to be shutting off. What it is doing when booting up it will get about half way thru then completely power off. Turn it back on same thing. Start it is safe mode and it starts and will run all day with no problem. So I did a system restore and got it started in normal mode, used it for a while and put it in stand by. Next time I went to use it as it was coming out of stand by it shut down. So I booted it in safe mode again and once again it would sit there and run all day. My thought was maybe it was getting hot but that cant be it since it will shut off right when started up so it would not be hot, and it runs all day in safe mode. So yesterday I decided to make the vista drive the primary and booted from it. Even booting on that drive with a completely different install it completely shuts down when booting. I did get it started in normal vista mode once and had internet but then later even though it said it was connected to the internet I could never get anything to connect. That was strange. So, anybody have any ideas? As I said before I thought heat at first, but then I figured something was corrupt in the XP install. But since it does it in both the XP and Vista install it almost seems like its some sort of hardware issue that shuts down the whole computer. I am probably going to move whatever is important off the vista drive over to the xp drive and do a clean install of windows 7 on that drive and see what happens. _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com For new and used parts go to www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
