    Computer randomly shutting down after not being active


    This has been happening at least once a day for a few days now, I turn off my monitors, I go to work or go to sleep, I come back to the PC, and it's on the login screen. For about the past month I've had issues where it would shut down a monitor (as if it had not been connected to the PC) during those times and I had to restart windows explorer. Here are a few of the logs from my last few unexpected shutdowns:

    Laptop randomly shuts down after latest Windows 10 update

    Since the latest update of Windows 10 my computer decides to randomly shut down after every couple of minutes. First the screen goes black, then the sounds stops and after quite a while the power also goes down.

    Obviously I though of cleaning the fan with a big vacuum, as suggested on My Windows 10 Computer Randomly Shuts Down . However, after doing this, the shutting down goes even quicker. I cannot even properly log-on before the shutdown takes place.

    What should be my next step?

    Ps. The computer is quited aged (roughly 3 - 4 years). The battery is dead enough such that I always need to have it plugged in an outlet. It might just be "done for" but I'm hoping to revive it for just a little bit more.

    My Computer Keeps Shutting Down By Itself But Not Infected Or Hacked.

    Hi Ethan,

    There several reasons why your computer is shutting down automatically. For us to provide you the proper troubleshooting steps, kindly answer the questions below:

    • Were there any changes made on your computer before encountering the issue?
    • Are you encountering an error message when your computer automatically shuts down? If so, what is the error message that you're getting?
    • Does the issue occur when you're performing a specific task on your computer or does it occur randomly?
    • What are the troubleshooting steps that you've done so far?
