Hai
In your heading where you say that information is not accessible do you mean to say you do not know what the specifications are of the system you have? Even the operating system you use? Is it a laptop or desktop system? How old? Does it have an intel or AMD chip? Do you know how to boot into BIOS and check system temperatures ( If the system has his function available). If you do not know even the basics of your system then take it to a technician to diagnose your problem as any advice given here will require you to have at least a basic understanding of how a system works in order for you to resolve the issue.

hi
in my opinion as long as the computer can stay working for days so that i think it s not related to temperature and to make sure you can try to play a movie or whatelse if it is related to temperature you should here an alarm from the motherboard and then it 'll shutdown , and then the problem is probably related to microprocessor and also as long as it's done while playing so it maybe related to VGA and as homerclones said .. you should know or tell your PC specifications to be able to decide which part is responsible for such problems

If your CPU is running at over 60 degrees you might be at risk of burning it out. Some systems shut down automatically when the temperature reaches an unsafe level.
I open my system unit and clean the fins on the heat sink that sits under the CPU. When they collect dust it restricts the airflow and prevents proper cooling. I just did that on my system and the CPU temperature dropped by ten degrees!

My son is having a similar problem with his computer just shutting off at random. First time I took it to the computer guy, he replaced the hard drive. Brought it home, and the computer seemed to work fine until he would play a game (such as Risk), and it would shut off after a few minutes of play. It wasn't just that specific game, it seems to shut off whenever any cd or online game is played that would demand a substantial amount of memory and graphics. Took it back to computer guy and he replaced a fan, tested it, and it would stay on. Brought it home and tried it again....and it was still shutting down whenever a game was started. Called the computer guy, and he suggested at this point it is likely an external problem (network card, mouse, monitor, etc.) I took the computer and hooked it up to a completely different set-up...different monitor, keyboard, mouse, power outlet, etc., and it shut off again when I ran the Risk game and again with an online virtual world game. I took it back to computer guy again and left the Risk cd game in the drive, and told him to try it. Now here's the kicker.....the guy played several complete games without incident when the computer was at his shop. I even logged into the online virtual world game while I was there and it stayed on as well. Brought the computer home and the same problem happened....it shut off about 1 minute into the Risk game. Why would the computer work fine at the computer shop and not at home? Any ideas?

This same thing happens to me too ,whether I do CD_ROM or downloadable game from a site. Could you please tell me what to do?. |
I had a similar problem when I first put my computer together. Turns out I didn't put the RAM sticks in all the way. Try taking them out and putting them back in.

my computer is doing the same thing and it's driving me crazy!
i'm running a macbook pro with bootcamp installed. it shuts off randomly when i'm in windows vista. when i boot as a mac, the thing stays on without any problems. i haven't noticed that it's when i run a cd or a game. i'll be searching for how to fix this with firefox and boom, it turns off. or loading pictures from my digital camera - no warning, just turns off. i downloaded and installed BitDefender virus scanner to see if i had a virus. i got it to install, but i can't keep the machine on long enough to run a full system scan. HELP PLEASE!!!

I think the culprit is the motherboard. I have the same issue before. So i opened up my CPU and checked all the capacitors. Some have less contact, that is why if you run games or stuffs which requires more power, it shuts off. So, its better if you can let a technician look at it and replace the worn out capacitors. My old CPU works fine now after changing the capacitors. if you need more help, you can reach me @ http://xat.com/halaka

Hi all,
I need ti share the problem what my system is facing. All of a sudden it shuts down by itself ( for me it happened when i was surfing ).I would be greatful if some can help me out. Thanks .... Darshan |
I have the same problem with my PC. Whenever i play a game that may require high amounts of energy/power such as Counter Strike: Source, My PC will suddenly shut off without warning at all. I highly doubt that this is caused by high temprature . When I went to feel the tower guess what? It felt like it was frying over 90 degreez! Here's the weird thing: When I try to turn it back on, It wouldnt just "Turn on again" I have to unplug the cord, and plug it back in...But instead, I unpluged the cord completely, and the extension cord and cleaned out all the dust that was in there and let it rest for 1 day. The next day, I plugged everything back on, and started playing a game, it didnt shut off...My suggestion is that try using my way, it might help you as well. |
hi heikki81,you need another fan which works better and i adivse you to clean the ram and if this persist you will need to format it as it can also be a virus present in your system |
You can buy a replacement capacitor kit for Dell SX-280, SX-270, GX-280, and GX-270 motherboards at WWW.Thecapking.com |
Hello everybody,
There is something very "random" about the word 'random'! I am having a very similar problem with my computer. I have a (3.5 years old) intel Pentium 4 HT (3 Ghz) on Intel 915GAG chipset with 2 GB DDR400 RAM. I have 2 Western Digital Hard Disks (80GB Raptor and a 250GB). I also have a 8600 GT Graphics Card with 512 MB Video RAM. I also have an APC 800VA UPS with a 400W PSU. My computer just restarts abruptly (as if someone turned off the power and turned it back on!) Upon restart, I could not trace any source of error as nothing showed up on Windows Events Viewer (I am running Vista) nor did the BIOS or Intel Desktop Utilities have any thermal/power history. The restart issue is really random as... nothing would happen when I play games for hours or keep my PC on for days, but would suddenly turn off and turn back on without warning. I have very new RAMs and they are I guess ok. My hard disks are new and stable too. My APC UPS has new batteries. My graphics card is less than 6 months old. God save me!

maybe your capacitors are going bad |
hey my new PC just arrived and it's having a few problems
My rig, Case- Antec nine-hundred mid-tower Power supply- AXP power supply ATX 630w Processor- Athlon X2 6000+ Graphics card- EVGA 8800GTS 512 MOBO- MSI K9AGM3-F 2GB RAM space 500GB hard drive space Vista home premium 32-bit G15 keyboard Creative SB Audigy 7.1 surround 54MBps D-link wireless connection It's brand new but whenever i try playing something graphic intensive it shuts down without any warning. Just like you would pull the plug. I've used speed fan to check my temperatures, Speed fan says only one fan is rotating but if i look through i can see two fans rotating. But the fans in front of my computer are not. So half of my fans are running. CPU usage is usually around 10% with a decent amount of apps running Fan1: 3145 RPM Temp1: 27C Fan2: 0 RPM Temp2: -128C Fan3: 0 RPM Temp3: 30C Fan4: 0 RPM Temp4: 35-50C All fan speeds are 100% What am i doing wrong. I didn't put this together myself it's straight from a company. and Only 2 days old!! Oh and my VGA temps are a little over 70 Celsius
