possible power overheating problem

Solution to this problem may be a discussion currently in
the newsgroup alt.comp.hardware as "power supply" and
"computer turns off". Also, in this newsgroup, is a relevant
post entitled "Power Supply glitch".

Specific facts one must obtain before trying to fix such a
problem. Facts made even easier if using an NT based OS such
as XP - as noted in those discussions. Overheating is often
too hyped as a solution because many don't have the necessary
electrical background. They simply blame what they understand
best rather than what more often causes computer problems. A
computer must work just fine in a 100 degree F room. If it
overheats in a 70 degree room, then computer has hardware
failure and not an overheating problem.
