    Hey guys, a friend of mine is having trouble with his pc & asked me to put this up for advice

    While using the computer it suddenly turned off, upon rebooting it came to the recovery screen but the keyboard was locked out so he couldnt select any option (it vists he is running), the computer turned off again. If the comp is turned on again it will turn off in a shorter time than previously. He lft it for a while & the comp was able to get to the recovery screen again but the keyboard was still locked out & it turned off again


    any ideas?

    Unplug all external devices, make sure everything is seated properly inside. Could be overheating or the hard drive. The keyboard could indicate a problem with the motherboard, is it usb or ps2?
