Leeroy186 Posted September 14, 2005 Report Share Posted September 14, 2005 My pc kept shutting down without any warning within a minute or two of it starting up. I thought it was overheating but the cpu temperature is fine and all fans are working. My next thing to fiddle with, was the power supply unit so I unscrewed it from the case and left it hanging out of the pc and now the pc works fine! But if I screw the psu back into the case, the pc starts shutting down again??!! Does anyone have any idea why the pc works fine with the psu out of the case?!
