My computer randomly shuts off. what the fuck

[proZach]

usually when i listen to music (iTunes, Ares, or even Quicktime) my computer will restart after the first few minutes. other times, it just restarts. my audio card is hooked up to my receiver and my speakers and i was thinking the power might be blown because of that or something, but that wouldn't explain it just shutting off when i go to sleep or whatnot. what the fuck.

have you seen the blue screen of death yet

 

[proZach]

haha, the one that says something like memory dump, or like terminal system failure? so many times. one time i had to buy a new harddrive because it wouldn't start back up, but the past like 5 times i've seen it, i just had to hit the power button extra hard for some reason and it booted back up.

 

[FartFace]

you look at lots of porn dont you

Do u delete ur spyware and check ur pc for virusses?

 

[proZach]

you'd be surprised to know i don't, yea its kinda weird, but i don't really look at it. i've also done many spyware checks and i run AVG virus scans or whatever. nothing really comes up.

 

[whattheshit]

if cpu is getting to hot it will reach its shut down point. it will shut down before the temperature gets to the point where it causes damage.

 

[ski_cartel]

your fan may be not working and the comp will just shut down when it over heats, or your comp is real fucked, either way you gota spend money

 

[Shadows]

nah, im almost positive its his power supply.

 

[proZach]

so if i just spent another $30, i could replace the power supply and it would be good again?

 

[PooterCrunk69]

yeah thats definatly it like it happened to me last summer, so i had to shut it off when ever i wasnt using it

 

[*i<3snow*]

[Shadows]

[JockinJLoads]

it might be over heating

 

[90iwish]

my comp did that to

my dad took it apart and cleaned it, alot of dust in there.

he just got some compressed air from walmart

 

[*BeAsT*]

Yeah before you do buy anything, just unscrew the cover and blow all the dust out or use the compressed air stuff. Just incase it is just overheating.

 

[iLLbiLLy]

dude i dout its the power supply, if it turns off after a long time or when doin things that are stessful its eather the video card or the ram, it could also be a registry promblem(spy ware and such) or maybe the powersupply

My computer kept shuting off when I listened to music or watched videos, and sometimes when I went on the internet. Our problem was a fried motherboard, but we just got a new computer, and we're going to replace the mother board on the other one so we have 2 computers. Get someone to check your motherboard.
