Random Shutting Down?
I build computers and I recently built one for my father.
Now, it has begun to just shut off (not through windows, but a hardware shut-off).
I have diagnosed every piece of hardware in separate PC's with different parts, tests, and everything. There is not overheating, double-checked with an actual temperature monitor. It can't be software because windows doesn't even begin to boot.
The only thing I can conceive is a physical defect in the hard disk, which I used from an older system, and that caused a hard crash. Any ideas?
This is a brand new system, and I am not building a new one. I can't boot from CD, the system turns off too quickly to even POST. The only part not new is the Hard Disk.
There is no battery, it's a desktop system. Don't answer the question if you don't know what you are talking about, please.
Quite strangely, the problem has been solved. There is a 'curse' in the spot of the computer, and there is just enough of a magnetic field to malfunction the computer. Strangeness, indeed.
