What's the CPU temp?

[SAV_117]

it wouldnt have that much time to heat up

it wouldnt have that much time to heat up

If its a USB mouse - I'd try re installing USB drivers or get a PS2 mouse to try

You would be surprised about heat, CPU's get hot quickly, one way to test the mouse is to unplug it, my bet would be power supply.

sorry i said move the mouse as an example of how quick it shuts down works fine in safe mode ive had it on safe mode for about 30mins and no probs soo im guessen somethin has just gone in there and gummed up the works hopefully reformatting should do the trick

Its most probably a virus, run a virus check in Safe Mode.

And if the CPU fan is not connected or not placed properly the PC will shutdown within seconds. it would get no where near the desktop screen.

Could be a conflict of some sorts. Installed anything new recently? mouse, printer, other USB device? Try removing everything you don't need and re-start.

nothin new has been added except for games just started a reformat well see how that goes for some reason i dont think it will go well am i right to think it could be faulty harddrive or mother board still nto sure about power supply but i doubt it

[SAV_117]

ok reformatted it seems ok but i still think there is a problem on start up so just after i have turned it on it says CPU error i dont have enough time to read it though. but ocmp seems to be running fine
