Hi there, i have a problem:
I was just burning a cd and my computer shut down. no biggie, i thought a power surge or something and restarted..and the comp got to windows screen and shut down again
so i unplugged everything and waited for a while, and the computer rebooted fine...got to windows, sat there for a moment, then the computer shut down again. now it will sometimes get to the welcome to windows and sometimes will just shut down when at the POST screen...

i cleared cmos, same thing

i took out the psu and do not see any visible damage. The psu fan, however, has been making a grinding noise, but nothing seems to be overheating, and definitely not that fast.

Any ideas at all would be helpful.
