Hi and welcome to ExTS

 

This could be a PSU problem.

Do you have a spare one ( borrow one ) to try it ?

 

It does not need to be the same wattage.

I did not understand what u meant.What do i need to change?

Thanks

I am suggesting that it may be a Power Supply Unit problem.

The way to test it is to swap it for a known good one.

 

Where are you based ?

I may be able to locate a cheap one.

I will try and let u know.

thanks

You didn't answer this :)

oh sorry.

I'm from Mauritius.

Can u tell me how to change power supply.i'm looking at some videos on ytube and it seems complicated.

do i need to change the whole unit or simply the wire?

The whole unit.

 

It is relatively simple to change.

 

Make sure you disconnect the mains power first.

 

There are usually 4 screws holding it in. You can unscrew these from the back of the machine.

 

Don't let the masses of wires put you off.

 

If you are unsure use a digital camera and take lots of photos.

 

The wires are all power connectors.

So Hard Drive / DVD Drive / motherboard / possibly video card ...........will all need to be disconnected.

There is no need to disconnect the data cables from the hard drive / DVD drive - unless it makes it easier for you.

 

There may be some un-used connections - this is normal.

 

PSUs are supplied by Wattage.

This is usually on a sticker on the PSU itself.

You may see 350W or similar.

 

A replacement would need to be at least this amount.

You can replace a 350W PSU with a 500W no problem. ( 500W is more expensive )

If you can borrow one then the actual wattage will not be an immediate problem - the machine will boot up and hopefully shut down and re-boot.

Do not replace a PSU with a wattage that is less than the original.

 

DO NOT attempt to take a PSU apart - there are dangerous voltages inside.

 

===========

 

I did suggest that this MAY be related to a PSU problem - this is why I suggested that you may have a spare or borrow one.

They are not very expensive - but I never suggest that members buy hardware unless it is absolutely necessary :)

 

===========

 

Before you take the PSU out try this:

Download Speccy from here

http://www.piriform.com/speccy

 

Install and run it.

It will give you details of your system - including temperatures.

Use the machine for a while then take a note of the temperatures.

Post these here please.

It is late here in the UK - I will pick this up tomorrow :)

Those temperatures are OK.

 

It looks like you need to try a different PSU.
