Need help - boot issues and general running
Hi,
I'm pretty much a novice so I don't really know what is going on. I have an Advent Roma 2000, when I try to start it up the initial loading screen comes up but then after about 4/5 seconds of doing nothing it loses power, cuts out and restarts pretty much immediately. If I press f12 on start up it loads as normal though and just gives me the option to start the computer up as normal. That's the first problem.
Once it does get started it sometimes will run perfectly, but other times will constantly freeze and run incredibly slowly. Usually anything I'm running will freeze for 1/2 secs every 7/8 seconds or so. This includes any programme I'm running, media player, word, ie. I have no idea what the problem is, have tried destructive format which usually seems to solve the freezing issue for a few hours but does nothing to the boot issue.
Any suggestions of what this could be or how to fix it would be great.
Thanks
