Computer will not switch on

greyteam1959

For about a week now my computer has been turnimg itself off.
I then turn it back on and all is ok.
After a few hours it turns itself off again.
It has now turned itself off and I cant turn it on at all.
There appears to be no power.
Have checked fuse in plug and have tried new power cable.
Still no good.
I think it is probably the internal power unit.
Anybody confirm this idea
Cheers

I'd suspect the Power Supply Unit too, they're easy to replace and can be bought for around £20 if you search hard enough.

Is it a desk top or a laptop?

If it's a laptop, they are prone to overheating and then cutting out. If you think this is the problem, you can get a laptop cooler which connects via a USB.
