Hello all,
My wife's Compaq Presario was the subject of a power cut (and possibly an accompanying power spike) this morning.
Since then, the damn thing seems to power itself off after being on for between 21-24 seconds. Not really enough time to even boot the OS.
The hard drive and CD-ROM have both been disconnected. The fault remains.
I can go into the CMOS setup menus by pressing F1, but as sure as clockwork, after about 21 seconds, the power goes off again.
Any idea what could be the fault? I suspect the power supply, but I wanted a second opinion.
Paul.
