Hmmm. My pc just turns itself off randomly
Any idea whats causing it- It occurs when burning DVDs (using NeroVision) and When using XP fragmenter (I tried defrag to try to solve the problem!!) ?

It's got 1GB of 433 DRAM mem
Only nerovision installed lately I dont run the gfx hard- dont play games |
i have had a similar problem before random re boots thought it was the power pack but turned out to be the motherboard which was an abit one so got a asus motherboard and had no problems since it is worth checking memory first though

CPU overheating ?
we had this on a server, only shutdown when running a virus scan (CPU utilisation went up over 50% it was enough to do a thermal shutdown Check your fans, also go into your BIOS and they usually have a page with RPM speeds of your fans, and also Motherboard and CPU temps |
normally switching off is a power or heat issue

Dont think windows will be able to help you fix this one with error codes ! I'd open the case up let some cold air in and see if it help, put a big fan on it.. you know one of those household fans |
yeh - get down to maplins - even a blue LED lit fan costs about only £7.
easy to fit also when case is open - blow as much dust away as you can. maybe get some thermal paste and recoat the cpu heatsink ? |
before you do that remove as much as possible from the pc eg usb devices cards etc etc etc then give it a go

Cleaned it up- although very dusty it's in a seethrough case so i dont let it get too bad!
I already had 4 fans but have added a further spare one downloading some MB software to monitor this during some apps |
