Windows 10: Surface 2 displayed a "Locking" notice then shut down. I cannot get it to restart

Surface 2 displayed a "Locking" notice then shut down. I cannot get it to restart

:)

 

Random shut down and restart??

Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
E220@2.406hz
2.42 GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM
Windows xp

Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused *Mad

One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?

Surface displays "Shutting Down"

My Surface Pro is one of the originals. It is running Windows 10 Pro Insider.

For the last hour it has been displaying "Shutting Down" with the dotted wheel circulating.

If I switch off the power, the same message shows when I repower the unit.

Any suggestions for getting it to either close down totally or to reboot?

Thanks
