Customer using a Fujitsu Siemens desktop running XP as a file/print server.
In the morning when they switch it on, it turns off again after about 2 seconds. They switch it on again, it turms off after about 4 seconds.
After switching it on about 10 times, each time the start up process getting a bit fut=rther, it eventually stays aon all day. Even if you turn it off in the afternoon, it switches back on startight away no problem.
It's as if a component has to warm up enaough to stay on.
Only time I've seen anything like this a new PSU has resolved it. Another time something similar was resolved by cleaning out the contacts on the power switch and making sure it wasn't sticking in when pressed.
Needless to say I've donoe both of these things but still the same.
A slight problem is that they need it all the time, so I can't take it away to test memory or hard drive, although I doubt it's either of those as they would continually crash if faulty anyway.
I've told them to manage for now, as it least it works, although annoying.
Any suggestions welcome, as I'd rather not they have to wait until it fails completely, although it will probably be easier to fix and diagnose once that happens.
Cheers
