Dell Vostro 230 Shuts down and powers up on its own. Also DVD Burner drive does not show up on my computer.
Hi,
I have a Dell Vostro 230 that shipped with Windows 7. Some time ago, I came home to see it up and running although I had not left it turned on. This happened a couple of times and I began to leave it unplugged. When I needed to use it, it would work for random amounts of time then shut down. I would try to start it but it would start up and then immediately shut down. Over and over.
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 hoping that this might solve this problem but it did not. Additionally, now my DVD R/W drive does not show up on my computer.
I have checked it for dust but it was clean inside the case. I have removed, swapped the memory. I have checked the power supply unit and the connections with a PSU tester. All have checked fine.
I am not sure what may be happening? Can anyone help?
