hi all, another update.
ok, so before I bothered playing with power sources I would try something else, normally if the computer turns off I leave it 10 minutes if not the whole night. So what I think is, if it breaks and doesnt boot at all, I'm actually better off because I actually have something to fix, so as soon as it shutsdown, I press the power button, like as soon as possible, in 1 second if possible.
so the computer complains a bit.. like runs fine when its on but shutsdown heaps.. this lasts a few hours. then it stops shutting down.
and now, I've had maybe 3-4 days of no shutdown at all. it seems like its fixed.
now, I'm not complaining, but what the **** happened? (hoping i dont get anymore shutdowns and it is actually fixed)
