Shuts down after you boot up

Jun 14th, 2004

OS: Win 2K

Computer boots like normal and then you log in.
It will stay on for about 5 mins after and then it shuts down automaticly.
Ideas?

Are there any illuminating error messages/warnings in you event logs? Check the logs with Event Viewer (in your Administative Tools).

Overheating, or a failing component can cause unexpected shutdowns/restarts. In the case of a hardware failure, bad RAM is often a culprit.

Please do not contact me by email or PM for help. We're all volunteers here, and only have so much free time to dedicate to our efforts.

However, if I've been working on a thread with you already, and seem to have "forgotten" your thread, please do send me a message. I try not to let things slip through the cracks, but it does happen sometimes.
