I've been recently having problems with my XP home machine all of a sudden simply
shutting off the power. This after the computer has been running 10 min reguardless
if I've been using the mouse etc. I don't even get any error messages from Windows
of a "Crital Error" then restarting.
To try and troubleshoot I've did the following.
(1) Checked that the main case and CPU fans are running.
(2) Started the PC and let it set at BIOS setup for 30 min.
(3) Started the PC and with a blank formatted in drive A: and let it set 30 min.
No power off during (2) and (3) so this rules out the problem being in hardware or
BIOS Correct?
(4) Started the PC and let it set at the logon screen. Power just shut off in 10
min all by itself. This would seem to reflect a problem in Windows Core install would
it not?
I checked BIOS and Windows power management before I did any testing and the only
thing set to turn off is the monitor after 30 min in Windows PM.
Is there a way via a Reg patch to overright all of the PM settings back to Factory
defaults?
Or is this a known issue there is already a fix for?
I remember a tool in Windows that could check all your key files for corruption but
don't remember where it is. That may be my problem also.
