Re: Computer Shuts Down and won't restart with out unplugging.

Gentlemen
Thankyou all for your fast responses.

I pulled out the PS and opened it up. Blew out the dust and I could see TWO BAD CAPS, one large one and one Small one. Both were domed (bulged) and had what looked like rust on top.

The power supply never felt hot when I touched it after it would shut off.

I went out and bought a new Enermax Liberty 500 watt 130$ Canadian.
More than I need for this computer, but I am thinking about repairing the old...

I have an Enermax 351 p-ve. and an Asus Cusl-2 motherboard. Pentium 111 933 .Not overclocked.

It will just randomly shut off as if I did pull the plug. And it will not start untill the plug is pulled and left for a while. Or I shut off the power supply using its switch and leave it off for a while, usually half an hour. I can leave it off over night when the room temp is 50 F. and it will not start in the morning unless I have "pulled the plug" .

Any ideas as to the cause?
