I would check the power supply first, if I were you.

  Subject: [PCBUILD] PC keeps on shutting down


  Hie all 
  I recently put together a PC for my kid, and it worked pperfectly for some time until recently.

  The PC has  Win95, MS-Office 97, WinAmp, and a few utilities and arcade games.

  Socket 7 M/board with a 233Mhz processor

  545Mb HDD

  ESS Maestro-1 S/card

  24-bit VGA card

  24Mb RAM (SIMM)

  The problem is that the PC keeps on restarting itself. This even happens before Windows loads, sometimes just after Windows has load or while he is working on something. I must admit there isn't much HDD space left, but I don't think this is the reason. I have checked the SIMM cards by removing one at a time but they seem OK.
