Hi,
I have custom built PC.
The configuration is as follows
Processor: Core 2 Duo 6600 (2.4 Ghz)
Mobo: Intel DG965RY
Memory: 2 GB (1GB X 2)
Video: XFX 7600 GT
NO external Sound card
Sony DVDRW (IDE) is attached with a 250GB and 1TB hardrive (both SATA).
DSL modem attached to the PC through a USB. The drivers of the modem simulate a LAN port when connected.
The PC is little more than 3 years old. It was working fine till few months back when I was browsing, the PC
powered off suddenly without warning. Then when I restarted, the PC was switching off after few seconds while
Windows was loading. Whatever I do, the PC was restarting at the same point. I had a dual boot with Win Vista. Even that was behaving the same way, restarting at loading. I suspected the Mobo was bad and took it for testing. The Mobo was sent to Intel and got back with no errors.
With no other option I tried to reinstall the OS. The PC started without problems and was able to install most of the softwares and modem drivers too.I thought it was a OS issue.
But after that I am facing following problems.
1. The LAN port is not working anymore. Basically the driver is not installed. If I try installing the driver, the PC powers off (NO BOSD, only powers off). Then I have to restart and choose it boot with last known good config.
2. The Linux Live Boot from the CD is not working. It starts loading and restarts abdruptly.
3. Sometime when I start the PC, the PC does not switch on. But it turns on and then immediately its turns off and then on again... it goes on for ever. I usualy just switch the main power for sometime and then it start it again. It works fine
4. The Modem which I use for the internet, the PC stops recognising it after some time while browsing. The USB light in the modem gets switched off. I have to switch off and on the modem to get it recognised again. I think its not modem issue but my PC issue. Because after this if i try restarting the machine, it does not shut down. if restart it forcibly, it goes into the toggle mode as explained above.
90% of the time PC works fine. But sometime I face this power toggle issue and the frequncy of this happening seems to be increasing. Also not able to use the Linux is also very annoying.
Can anybody think of a reason for this problem?
Sorry for the long post. Thought I will explain the whole problem.
Thanks,
Sandeep
