[QUOTE="JoseMCeee, post: 1383195, member: 557024"] Before my PC stopped working it would shut off out of no where or everytime I would try to boot it up, a blue window with white writing would flash for about one second after the Windows XP screen and then the system would restart. This screen would not stay on for long but what I was able to read was "Internal-power-failure, hardware or software could have caused this etc..." This would happen at least twice before the PC would start up normally. I thought I could have been a hardware problem because I had not installed any new software.

Sometimes even when I pushed the power button it would not do anything. Well I completly bought a new system, pretty much everything except the video card and audio card and the power supply.
