Random Shut down
I assembled my compy and turned it on....it ran fine for a couple of minutes, even got to the XP install screen, then it powered down...I tried to turn it back on but it wouldnt go, I unpluged the power and pluged it back in and tried agiain. It turned on and after a couple of minutes shut down on me again.....I am running an Intel Pentium D with an appropriate mother board I got directly from Intel...I just hope its not overheating already......please help!
