re: HP Desktop Powering Off Saturday, December 19, 2009 at 7:45 pm Windows Me Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6908 messages posted) If it hasn't been used for a while, one of the cooling fans might be siezed, meaning it won't turn. The power supply fan in many of them was also the CPU air flow fan too. You will probably have to open the case and check the fans when you start it. Other possibility is dirt in the heatsinks, but that shouldn't power it off in 5 seconds. Could have a settings problem in the BIOS where it restarts after a power failure. Lots of possibilities but definately a hardware issue. Written in response to: HP Desktop Powering Off (Dustin: Saturday, December 12, 2009 at 9:20 am) There are presently no replies to this message.
