OK, this is my 3rd attempt at writing this.

my PC keeps turning itself off.

it happens at random, nothing to do with cpu, ram or psu load.

a freind thought it might have been the switch sticking at the front.

so i got rid of the microswitch that controlls the power, and have two wires sticking out the front to make sure they are not touchin (i touch them together to turn on)

the weird thing is, i can shake my pc, bang it, and knock it, with no effect, but i can tap the front with my little finger and off it goes.

i turn it back on, and it goes off after 5 seconds, could be 10 hours, could be 10 seconds... totally random.

i think its a physical problem, but theres no sign of any loose wires anywhere, and it confuses me that sitting here typing with the pc on a bed of foam to dampen vibration getting to it, it can just go off.

Please help me with any constructive suggestions

its been fine for the past 2 month aswell, just started happening.

its an Atrix Extreme Power Model 500T, 650W with a 120mm fan

Please help, i hate not knowing.... its just so weird.
