Solve : Desktop randomly shuts off? |
|
Answer» Man, its been forever since i've been here, and I come back with another issue! I have a desktop that randomly shuts off on its own. No BSOD just black. It will run every now and then for extended periods, and then BAM, shutdown. The power supply was recently replaced to get the thing so it would even turn on anymore. I dont know what all Info I need to GIVE but here's a short list. No BSOD just black.Does it mean here that the monitor is only black and the tower is still running? Have you checked your hardware temps. lately and cleaned out some dust from the inside? Any problem in safemode? Download Speccy and then install the program. To post and publish a SNAPSHOT of your PC. . In the Menu BAR, click File -> Publish Snapshot . Click Yes > then Copy to Clipboard . On your next reply, right-click on a empty space and click Paste on reply box then click Post. Tower and all turns off. The computer isnt hot at all either. We've even sprayed out all the dust with compressed air. Our roomate wiped the OS off the system, and it wont go through the XP setup, it wont stay on long enough to run it.I have seen power supplies go bad and cause this issue. Do you have a spare power supply to install into it to test if this fixes it? For this type of issue you have to verify: - All Fans are spinning. ( The system will shutdown if monitored fan(s) report no movement ) - Nothing is running too hot ( Thermal paste missing or OLD dry and chalky between say CPU and HEATSINK ) - If Power Supply is Healthy. |
