Fan Noise then Shutdown

[jacques213]

I have a new Gateway GM5478 (media center) desktop. Problem: fan starts a loud noise then computer shuts down. Will ask if I want to open in 'normal' windows then boots up - losing data from past minute. Any remedies??

Are you getting any beeps when the computer boots?

If so how many?

sounds like a bad or failed PSU.

Yes thats what i was leaning towards Tedster lol.

But we need to know if he's having any beeps first.
