| Computer turns on as soon as i plug it in and also turns on at random times when off
I have been having a problem with my dell computer everytime i plug it in it turns itself on and after turning it off after a while it will boot back up again. Also it takes quite a long time for it to load windows then when i first bought it. The computer is only around a year old if that will be of any use. Any ideas on what the problem may be would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Rekki |

I would go with EpyonMelee when your computer starts to shut down on is own its most likely the PSU. Try buying a new one from www.newegg.com or Best Buy. If thats not it check to make sure you dont have any currupt files on your system. | |

| hi thanks for taking the time
i have called dell and the people who were supposed to help me really didnt do anything besides tell me to do the same thing everytime i called which didnt work. I am thinking it is some kind of physical problem because of it turning on as soon i plug it in but other then that i have no clue, also i am not sure what version of windows it is i currently dont have the computer at my location | |

Also that whole turns on at random time things is really awkward, do you all think maybe the power button is screwed up or something? | |
