Just turns off!

[Chalmers86]

Hey, basically my PC seems to completely cut out … like turns off. Sometimes it does it on its own (Not often though) but I’ve also noticed if I happen to bump the pc desk (which sometime happens when I get up as I’m tall) it turns off! I’ve checked the power leads are connected to the wall correctly and it only seems to affect the PC. My monitor etc stay on!

Please help as I’m in the middle of writing a report and it’s a little inconvenient! Not to mention the damage it could do to other components in the PC.

PS placed it here because that’s the only thing I could think might be on the blink.

I would say its probably a pc on its way out, our office pc did that before, we replaced the psu and it was fine.

Right well if that's the case I need to replace the PSU as soon as. Can't live without my PC the now I have a mountain of work to do!

I was thinking of something a long the lines of this -

Would that be suitable for my pc?

CPU : AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5000+ 2.71 GHZ
RAM : 4 X 1 GB Modules
Motherboard : ALiveNF6G-VSTA
HDD : Hitachi 232 GB
Graphics Card : Radeon X1650 Series 512MB PCI-Express
