  1. Computer randomly shutting off and restarts


    So I've been dealing with my computer randomly shutting off and restarting. It can happen in a game or when the computer sits idle and I come back to it.I've tried everything, replaced the ssd, replaced the graphics card, replaced the psu, replaced the motherboard and cpu, replaced the ram, replaced the cpu heatsink and fan. I am so frustrated, all I can figure is the rgb is causing the problem. Really could use some help, keep spending money on parts and it keeps happening.

    Random shut down and restart??

    Computer: Intel (R) Pentium (R) Dual cpu
    E220@2.406hz
    2.42 GHZ, 2.00 GB of RAM
    Windows xp

    Ever since I replaced the fan (with heat sink) the computer has randomly shut down and then restarted, at first during streaming, and now, will shut down and restart anytime. I tried to replace the graphics card to no avail. *Confused Computer randomly shutting off and restarts :confused:*Mad Computer randomly shutting off and restarts :mad:

    One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

    Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?

  3. 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.

    Computer shuts down randomly

    Hi Holly,

    Thank you for posting in Community, I understand your concern and we will try our best to help you resolve your issue.

    Before we proceed, I would like you to provide the information stated below:

    1. Do you get any error message/code when the before the system shuts down?

    2. Does the issue happen when your performing a particular task in your computer?

    For now, I would suggest that you place your computer in Safe Mode and check if the issue persist. To do so follow the steps below:

    • Open Run Command (Windows button +R)
    • A dialog box will open type “msconfig”
    • Locate and select the Boot tab and select Safe with Minimal
      as option.
    • Restart Computer
    Note: Follow the same procedure to undo Safe Mode, uncheck the Safe option and restart your system.

    Hope this helps.
