Keeps shutting down and rebooting. I have checked all connections and have disabled the shutdown on button press in power options - I am using vista. Now at a loss (it is still happening). There are no flashing amber lights to indicate a fault with the power supply but I am suspecting that the switch is at fault - although dell tell me it could be the mainboard. Please help.
It is probably the powersupply although Dell is right and it might be a motherboard problem. Your best options right now are to replace the power supply first, then run a motherboard error check if you have an adapter for it. If you don't you should take it in to a repair shop unless it's still under warrenty then Dell should be able to fix it for you. If they try to charge you alot of money, call around and see if you can't get a better deal first because sometimes factory warrentys don't amount to anything more than a headache.

Hi, I have installed Realtek ALC888S driver on an Acer lowcost PC but the device 'HD AUDIO' shows up twice - once with the working driver and secondly without driver installed. So I remain with one device that has no good driver installed. The effect occurs both in Windows XP and in Windows 2003. Anyone any ideas? Tks Ronald

I cant get my Toshiba Equium to work off the mains. I have had it on charge over night to try and boost the battery but it went into hiberate and wont restart or work. Is there a switch that I have turned off by accident under the laptop?
