It is almost like it's being switched off at the wall, no warning just goes off :( Could be 10 mins after switching on or a few hours and it can't be switched on immediately after. Can anyone one point out any reason why this would happen? Cheers Gaz Edited by BadManGaz, 6 Jun 2008, 08:57 PM.

Get the hoover out :) Other than that I'm not sure could be a driver issue or anything else... Has it just started doing it recently or has it always done it? If recent then I suspect dust if always I suspect driver conflict or something Let me know how you get on :)
