This is a pc not a laptop.  It is a sytemax app 2 years old from tiger 
direct, however i don't see the info of the make and model necessary to 
diagnose power supply problem, but thanx for input.  I was going through 
a tripplite ups(thought i put that in initial post)  i plugged it 
directly into outlet and message has not returned. Strange you should 
mention it , but my laptop, Winbook J4 started shutting down  after 
being booted up.   It is app 5 years old.  I have never used battery 
just ac current.  i thought it was the power cord on it.  it will be 
monday before i talk to the support staff at winbook(they have one of 
the most helpful and accessible support teams in the industry).  thanx 
again for input.
