Trash Talk - my computer keeps turning off Anonymous - Wed Sep 08, 2010 7:53 pm Post subject: my computer keeps turning off
does any one by any chance no what the problem could be? Once i turn my computer on it works about 5 minutes and just shuts off, and not like windows says shutting down, it just completely turns off as some one just cut the power.
Its a bit strange but i had this problem about a year ago, but it stopped. now it has been going on for a few weeks.

Could be a power supply issue, or could be a temperature issue.
Are the fans unusually loud? This could indicate higher temperature than normal.
Unless it's a laptop:
Unplug it, open the case, and clean off the dust. Make sure all the fans are clean and that air can move freely. Make sure to also check the fan over the CPU, and check if there isn't a layer of dust between that fan and the heatsink under it.
You could search for tools that monitor the temperatures of your computer too.
