    a few hours after what.

    does it switch off without shutting down have you checked the power supply it might be burnt out. these cost about €30 if it is the power supply.

    might be overheating and the BIOS knocking it off before it explodes.
    how old is it?
    just make sure theres room for your fans to breath first!

    Sorry for the late reply but it's been difficult.
    It's four years old.How do I check the power supply?
    I can run it for hours with no probs and then shut it down correctly but it wont boot up soon after the shut down.

    I then push the button for six seconds til it switches off and immediately push it again- this usually works.Maybe this is damaging. Idon't know.

    Thanks for all replies.
