Or so Evesham tech support say...
Here's what happened:
Whenever I switched my computer on, it would switch off within five
seconds or so. If I switch it on again, it will switch off again even
more quickly. It doesn't even get to detecting disk drives, let alone
booting an operating system.
It even does it with all of the disk drives unplugged.
I phoned Evesham tech support, and they immediately said it was a
windows driver problem. When I told him it didn't have windows on it,
but had Linux on it, he put me on hold for a few minutes. When he got
back, he told me that he couldn't fix the HARDWARE problem because it
runs Linux. He told me to reinstall windows and phone back... Well
that's gonna be fun when it cant stay on for more than five seconds...

Just thought you guys might be interested
