...the hell?
Sep. 16th, 2006 05:19 pmMy computer spontaneously powered down this afternoon and wouldn't start back up again. It powered up normally when I tried again an hour later.
Possible factors:
- The computer had been on for about five hours at the time, although the most intensive program it ran during that period was an anti-virus scan.
- It's a moderately warm day, though I've had warmer.
- I'd just plugged in my cell phone to recharge when the power-down occurred. The phone recharger goes into the same socket.
- The surge protector had NOT shut down, at least not for more than a second. It's possible I jostled a plug somewhere when I plugged in the cell phone, but my monitor and speakers were showing power afterward.
Anyone have an idea what hit me?
