My computer just died
Hi,
Was using my Advent computer (dont know the model), when it suddenly died. If I unplug it for about five minutes, then plug it back in, I can get the fan to start spinning and the front LEDs to come on for a couple of seconds, then it just dies. I am tempted to ring up PC World and tell them to come and get it but then I'm going to be without it for a fortnight so I would rather I could fix it myself.
Thanks in advance
Matt
Update:I'm also on my old PC now. Which is rubbish.
