- I have an 8 year old Compaq Deskpro XT compatible. Recently, it will cycle
- power on the computer at seemingly random times, but usually during hard
- disk access (i.e. when executing a command). The problem is getting worse
- and worse. Can anybody suggest what to do? Do I need a new power supply?
- Thanks for any advice.

- As you can see in my .sig, I'm a software type, and am hardware ignorant!
