Hello all. Can anyone help? My 64 bit Mesh machine (mesh computer nero 9950hd) switches off about 10 sec. after switching on. Can anyone suggest a way forward to identify the cause of this problem... Any help would be much appreciated.

At a guess it is so loaded up with gaming hardware the PSU cant cope

Grateful thanks to everyone... I had to be away for awhile but now I can respond to all the points mentioned... Both CPU and Case fans are running okay, there was some, but not much, dust in the CPU heatsink but all that has been cleaned when removing the processor. The motherboard appears to be physically 'sound' with no blown caps. I have run the machine with minimum load on the PSU and with covers removed but still the same delinquent behaviour... The actual delay is circa 12/16 seconds. I had a similar problem about six years ago when the machine simply shut down without warning after one to four hours and the solution at that time was to replace the PSU. So my strategy now is to obtain a known good PSU as GB suggests so I'll replace the 500W version with a 600W new from eBay?? I will keep everyone apprised.


Get a decent PSU.



Thanks again and kindest to regards all... Richard.


Any suggestions or recommendations for a DECENT PSU??
