    Computer shuts down randomly once a day


    Once a day, usually about after an hour or two of use doesn't seem to matter what I'm doing, my computer will suddenly tell me that it's shutting down, and then proceeds to do so. As if I had chosen to shut it down myself. I can start the computer back up without problems, and it will be fine the rest of the day and night. The events I see just before or as it's happening seem to be there only because the system is shutting down such as event 8193 Volume Shadow Copy Service error: Unexpected error calling routine CoCreateInstance. hr = 0x8007045b, A system shutdown is in progress or small errors mostly ESENT that are there a lot anyway.


    MB: Rog Strix Z390-e, Processor: Intel i7 8700, Win10, 64 bit, Nvidia GeForce RTX 2070


    My computer is clean and temps are good. Scandisk showed no errors. Scans with Microsoft safety scanner and Malwarebytes were negative, sleep is set to never, fast startup is off. Dxdiag is normal. Device manager shows no conflict, and my drivers are up to date as far as I can tell. I have no idea what's causing it, and it's driving me nuts.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    :)

  2. 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?

    Computer shuts down randomly once a day

    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 shuts down randomly once a day :confused:*Mad Computer shuts down randomly once a day :mad:

    One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

    Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?
