    i have an acer aspire 5000 with win xp on it, its about 6 yrs old.
    had problems starting it up after a full shut down during storms and power outages. it would finally boot after many tries. this is the first problem ive had with this machine.

    i knew the fan was dying and i replaced it on friday. i took the fan and heatsink out and replaced it with a new one.

    it will not boot up at all this time. i can get it to come on and press f2 for set up or del and it gets to the page but then shuts off again.

    a couple times ive been able to get to scandisk, it does the full scan then shuts down. if anyone knows anything please help me out thanks in advance.

    It sounds like the power supply was marginal. The storms didn't help so I suspect maybe the power supply is gone.
