Compaq won't STAY on after it loads
I turn my computer on, it will fully load and then, it
will turn itself off. Immediately, it turns itself on, loads fully, then turn off. It will do this several times and then it will stay on. It will do this for so long, sometimes, I am afraid it won't stay loaded. I can NOT put in a CD to play, it will start doing the turning off and on thing. I have no virus. I used my "Fix It Utilities" program (very old but it works) and also went to trendmicro.com to get a free virus scan. I tried doing my hibernate but it doesn't work either. I leave my computer on all the time and finally figured to just turn off my monitor. This computer is 4 and 1/2 years old. I bought a new key board, thinking some keys were stuck or something, but it is not that. Everything is hooked up. I have De-fragged, cleaned out files. I had "Incredible" as my e-mail application, I deleted it the program. I went to the add and remove in the control panel and deleted it. I even removed everything from the start up column that I don't use or had deleted from the add/remove in the control panel, but was still listed. Once it is loaded and stays loaded, I can check my e-mails and surf the net, visit the bank, etc. I don't know why it is doing this all of a sudden. I really need help. Thank you Debbie |

Compaq won't STAY on after it loads
You need to determine/prove whether or not its a heat/hardware issue rather
than a WinMe issue. Boot using your Windows Startup (floppy) Disk and let it continue to the DOS Help page. Leave it running for a reasonable period of time and see if it re-boots. If so, then it is not a WinMe problem but rather an issue with your PC. Could be clogged or sticking fan(s) etc., etc. Good luck Mart "Debbie Gunter" wrote in message ...
