Computer Problems I saw that you answered a bunch of computer questions, so I have a question for ya lol. My computer is only a few years old. Randomly, it will just turn off completely. Most likely I'm either listening to music, on AIM, & on some website & the whole thing shuts off. It doesn't shut down or go to a different screen, the tower just shuts off. Then what I have to do is unplug the cord in the back of the tower. I think it's the whole power cord. I have to leave it unplugged for a few minutes, then I plug it back in & it'll start up. If I don't unplug the power cord or don't unplug it long enough, it will start up except the screen is black & it says 'Monitor is asleep' or something to that. It's been happening once or twice a day. A few people said it could be to keep from overheating & it could be the fan, but it never feels hot or anything. Also, it makes vacuum noises all the time. Any suggestions?? I don't want to send it in, but if I have to, where would I take it & is there anything else I can do?? Thank you!!

It is almost certainly the power supply, which is a component inside of the computer. You could replace this yourself (though you would have to buy a new one), but it will be easier for you to bring it into a tech place. ]
