I shut it down, wait a while, power it back up, same thing.I wait some more, dust it off, then manage to get it running long enough to transfer my ME3 save to an external drive, then it shuts off again.Did a little research. Didn't find anything conclusive. Might be heat issues (it's not in an enclosed space, and it always ran hot), might be the hard drive. I put in a 320GB drive about 1.5 years ago. I'll try reseating the drive this week.If I can't get it running again, is it worth trying to get it repaired? Hopefully I can at least copy a few more saves off the drive. My gut instinct is: no. I'd be better off with a new unit and a full warranty. It is 5 years old. Opinions/experiences? Thanks in advance.</blockquote>
