It needed to be running for 3-4 days before the problem initiated.īTW I was told that the next step was to evaluate my “environment” as there was nothing else they could do. If I let it sit overnight it would operate, but after a few days the problem would start all over again. It would basically drop power while operating, then I could reboot (only by unplugging it) and it would would maybe boot up then drop power again, or drop power during the boot up sequence.

Both Windows and Mac booting never went through.
