[thechat] Annoying friggin' PC problem. Help?

[Kath]

We had the same problem when we installed Win2K on my new PC.  Since my
husband is our resident hardware.OS guru, I asked him.

Here is his reply ...

problems.

It's probably not the power supply, because in my experience, they either
work or they don't.  If a power supply goes it's dead.  Also Windows
controls powering the machine on and off, so there is no bios setting to
allow you to use the switch to shut it off (assuming you have an ATX power
supply.)
