Re: Ibm T 22

hi rayboyusmc,

if it turns OFF, i suggest you check the fan, vents and heatsink. make sure they are not covered by dust. also reapply thermal paste on the CPU/heatsink. Considering the T22 could be some few years old, i think the thermal paste may have hardened and not working as it should.

if doing the above still shuts down the computer, observe which part of boot does it shut down as it could be your RAM too. if you have a spare (working) RAM, use that for testing. or run Memtest86+ to test your RAM for errors.
