hes using sombody elses .think people
theres a good chance you cpu fan is not working /loose or full of fluff take the side of the box off and do a spring clean with a paint brusn in one hand and a vacuum in the other held 8" away .
check everything is in tight and all fans are free
once done leave side off and switch on ,you will then see if all fans are working .if not you my have other problems

I just recently had this problem. I was told to unplug and plug back in and it would do the same thing, but the problem was this: The Surge protector was burnt out! Did you know they are only supposed to be used at capacity for no more than 5 years! After that they are no longer gauranteed and can short out. Switch your surge protector and see if that works. If you are not using a surge protector, you may have burnt out your socket!

There are many things that can cause that, but the PSU (power supply unit) is a likely item as they deteriorate with time its also a cheap item to replace £5-£10 + vat & delivery on the net
if you have got lots of usb items pluged in un plug them and try it again as they use power.
or i have had a mother board do the same thing(hope its not)

Might be a fault with the power supply unit inside the computer or the motherboard.
You may need expert help to find out the cause.

sounds like it is over heating try cleaning your cpu and make sure the fan on the cpu is working correctly..also make sure the power supply fan is running.if both of them are good you probably have some hardware going out like memory or hard drive ect.

There's probably a loose connection in your PSU (power supply unit)
