Unconditional Shutdown on PC HW

Uhm .. My home PC screwed up ..

It kept shutting down even starting Debian in addition to Windows XP.

That
had happened before due to a dangling CPU fan before, and I had
replaced the fan with a state of the art double 2000+ RPM one .. But no
problem with that now ..

After sometime, I could not even boot anything up.

I have decided to take out every component and start adding one by one..

The
problem seems to be something about the power supply.. I think the
switch at the back has a problem, because whenever I use it, I need to
wait for a couple of minutes before I can hit the usual power button to
start up.

After adding everything again, it seemed OK.

That night I left the Debian up, but in the morning I saw that it was shutdown and trying to reboot hopelessly.
I tried again by disabling “Reboot with power problem” option in BIOS.. Happened again the other night.

Last day I left Win XP up, and nothing happened. It just dont make sense.

I restarted Debian and it was OK in the morning .. I’m waiting for the evening to see..
