Have you tried to boot to safe mode to run an antivirus/spyware program? To access your safe mode, press F8 right as the windows logo is about to appear and you should get a prompt for logging to safe mode.

Also, be sure you dont have a stuck key on your keyboard, some pc's like mine at work will load but shutdown/disable the keyboard if a key is stuck.

Do you receive an error message of any kind?
If so, what is it?
Does Windows say something like "shutting down" or does the computer just shut off w/o any warning? (like if you unplug from the power outlet)...

If you are using a battery backup for power, unplug the computer power cord from it and plug the computer power cord directly into the wall outlet for now. try to start again.

Please respond with more info...
Thanks!

    GREAT! ...

    It's not your power supply...

    Do not re-install anything...



    1. Start up in Safe Mode..

    2. From the menu, select "Start up in last known good configuration.."



    Let uis know if that works!

Most likely your power supply is faulty. You can test it with a voltmeter to determine if this is the cause or if it's the motherboard.

  • Anonymous Sep 15, 2009

    You may have a corrupt hard drive. You may want to try reinstalling windows or check control panel, screen saver, power options as well

  • Anonymous Sep 21, 2009

    Check the power settings in user profile.
    Also run a anti-virus, trojan, and malware program such as avast.
    If needed, download and run a registry cleaner such as Eusing or Glary Utilites which are both free.
    If needed, use system restore and set your computer back to a date from when this started happening.

My xbox turns on but it go right back off and the adapter stays orange.

It may have one of two problems. If it has an internal battery and it goes flat it will send an alarm then shut down. Secondly it may have an internal fan that has stopped working and as such it shuts down to protect itself.

Blackberry just randomly shuts off

check your battery terminal. I had this same problem right out of the box. it would only stay on for 15secs shut down and continue to cycle. turns out one of the 4 prongs wasnt connecting right with the battery. I could clearly see one was shorter than the others.

The phone would only work if connected to the computer.
Are you within your 30days? or 1yr manfacture warranty? or 90 days if it refurb (ATT)(anyway)

Flat screen monitor

Possibly a bad inverter that turns on the fluorescent backlight or a bad bulb.
