Decode Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 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.

Can you fry an egg on your setup? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naked Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 Specs/OS? Is there a status display on the mobo? First guess is power supply issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi G00gle Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 (edited) 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. Edited September 15, 2018 by Hi G00gle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evade Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Knuckolls Posted September 15, 2018 Share Posted September 15, 2018 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. -Knuckolls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
