We have a Gateway Computer Pentium 4 HT 2.2 gig
512mb ram in in dual mode
80 gig hd
17 in gateway monitor
I have a Vinyl Plotter hooked up via LPT1/printer port
A Vinyl Cutter is hooked up Via Serial Com port 1
the computer works fine and then just ramdomly shuts off/resets
but when it resets it doesn come back on properly the fan speed goes to high and theres no post screen and the power button doesn't even work! when i hold the power button down to turn off the computer still stays on.
i unplug it and then plug it back in and it does the same thing!
i usually have to pull a memory chip out and start it then turn it off and reinstall the memory chip and it will start normally.
any ideas?
Thanks!
Vince
