Unhappy pc mysteriously shuts down

hi, folks,

for some reason, once i turn on my pc, it gets shut down after a few seconds. at first everything seems to work fine. it boots; it loads win2k; then after a while it just shuts down. to restart, i would have to actually disconnect the pc from the power supply, reconnect, then press the pc power button for quite a few times. it will restart, then the same thing would happen again.

anybody has any ideas on this?

thanks

ben

Problem just start or a new build? Power supply or overheating will cause the problem. You say you have to push the pc power button several times before it responds - problem may be right there.
