Nov 21, 2012 10:20 AM in response to emorganzby a brody,You are talking the desktop machine? If you are talking the notebook, make sure it is plugged in and this still is happening. If it is happening on a desktop, verify the circuit breaker box doesn't have a bumped circuit switch that is slightly off kilter. If it doesn't, then bring it in. If a notebook has it happening and there is no issue with the circuit switch, then bring both the power adapter and the notebook in.

- You may hear a startup chime.
