I just went up to my office to discover that my PC was powered off. Odd, since I left it on. Power was flowing to the power strip, and the other devices on it including printer and monitor. Oddly the PC appeared to still be getting power, as a green light on the front of the case was glowing. I wiggled a few cables and noticed tat the green light was out. Assuming I had just noticed it at the wrong angle, I tried the power again, and the PC came on. Stayed on long enough to fire up XP and let me log in, but a few minutes after that, shut itself off again. Now I can't get it to turn on. This is completely new behavior for me. Ideas? I'm wondering, it's a hot day, could it just be overheating and shutting itself down? And the first time I caught it right when it had cooled off enough? Could my power supply be dying? Just to rule it out is there anything that could run on a PC (i.e. virus) that could shut down my machine? Duane
