Computer Shuts Down By Itself?! by albert on 04-26-2005 at 07:58 PM
hey a friend of mine is having a problem.. i dunt have many details, but what seems to be the problem is that the computer simply shuts down by itself at a certain point of time
i thought it was maybe a virus or something maybe, anyone has a clue?

Any removal tools or special details it gives out I can use to make sure it is the Blaster?

my pc shuts down when i put more load on my pc (while playing game) and if i didnt allowed proper cooling then it automatically shuts down.. but when i give it proper axhaust then it keeps on working to hours and hours.....
may be ur frnd also facing this problem because of not proper cooling ( as i was)

It's most likely hardware rather than a virus..

check the rams also.. if he is using two rams.. then there might be mis cofiguration between them...

Just a suggestion, but have you tried letting the computer run in safe mode and idle to test whether or not it's an overheating issue?

Usually viruses display some kind of wierd activity or a message or somthing, But its a possibility
Reccomend him to:
Do a virus scan
Clean the insides of his pc (Remove dust, etc)
Check all power cables.
And if its still not working you probly have a problem in one of your hardware components. Ive seen PSU's suddenly just fail and do that to a pc.

Once I stupidly messed with the bios resulting in my PC shutting down at 2 am every day. Make sure you haven't done anything with it (the bios).
