I Have An E-machines Desktop. This Unit Is Refurbished. The Problem Started When I First Got It - I Sent It Back - They Replaced The Modem. It Worked Fine For 2 Months. Same Problem Ocurred
Thinking I Had Learned Something, I Replaced The Modem With A Name Brand. Again The Problem Subsided About 3 Weeks.
The Random Shut Downs Usualy Require Only A Light Rocking Of The Cabinet To Start Up Again. Sometimes It Completely Reboots, And Requires Reactivation Of Active Desk Top, Other Times It Just Starts As If Coming Out Of Hibernation (windows Xp). Sometimes On The First Start Up Of The Day I Need To Rock It To Get It To Start.
Do Any Of You Suspect A Bad Hard Drive? Would A Bad Psu Have Symptoms Requiring "the Rocking Action" ? When It Is Running it often runs Several Hours With No Problems, or it may fail in the first 5 to 15 minutes
