Back for a while

[Loonietoon]

Don't know what is going on with my computer, but...it will work for a little while then it will shut down.. Have to hit the reset on the back of the computer then go to the power button on the front and it will start. Will run for about 1 hr then shut down again.. go to the reset and it will start up again.. Me thinks it could be the power pack but not sure.. still working on it

I think your power pack is a good guess from what you said. Take the covers off and see if the little fans on the mother board are working, or clogged with dust and cat hair. If so, set the shop vac loose on her.

 

Good luck getting back online.
