My computer keeps switching off randomly with no warning message. Also, sometimes restarts with no warning. Sometimes after this happens and i try switch it on, it will turn off straight away too. Anyone who can find me a fix for this issue or tell me what my issue is exactly (Dont want to be attempting to fix a non-issue) will be rewarded.

Sounds like a temperature issue. Can you fry an egg on your setup?

Specs/OS?

Is there a status display on the mobo?

First guess is power supply issue.

put your hand into your computer and feel if its very warm or not

Had a friend test the temperature and that certainly isn't the issue.

Next most likely is probably a fault surge protector.

I find it strange that everyone is guessing but no one is recommending some testing. Get your hands on a copy of Hiren's boot CD (You can download it to a USB, and boot from it), and then run the MemTest, along with some CPU torture program. If you don't want to create such a bootable, then I would download Prime95, which puts alot of pressure on your CPU/RAM, if it doesn't turn off while running, it is probably not your CPU / RAM. Also, can you post a full log of what hardware you got?

 

Edit: If you are on Windows 10: Go to Start, typ eventvwr - Then go to Windows logs, and go to System. and take a careful look at the red ' ! ' signs, if you find any - Please post them below.

We fixed it reddit! It was a faulty surge protector lol

If you plug it into a power bar id replace that or plug it into a wall. If that does not work could be a bad power supply with the fan not working anymore.

I had this issue about 6 months ago. Did a full system reset, cleaned out my Desktop, etc.

I found out the issue was a faulty Power cord/plug/battery. The power supply was fucking up.

You would be surprised at how much power military grade dildos use.
