    Hello, My PC is a built one I did. Recently I have added 32GB of RAM and an SSD. I converted Microsoft to UEFI and cloned it to the new SSD. The BIOS is in Legacy+UEFI and I changed the boot priority. I have updated my BIOS to the latest version. Now the issue I am having is nothing I do will shut it off or restart it from Microsoft or from BIOS. Only thing I can do is use the power button. I have disabled fast startup, Turned off Hibernation mode. I have sent BIOS back to default. Not really sure what else I can do. I tried switching the boot priority back to the HDD but still had the same pr

    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 PC keeps running after shut off or restart :confused:*Mad PC keeps running after shut off or restart :mad:

    One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

    Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?

  3. My pc takes for ever to shut down when i restart

    Suggest cleaning up your startup list .There may be many services / Apps you can remove on startup which is not needed on boot or during shutdown.
    Before you shutdown the Pc check what is running in Task Manager as a program or service in not killing the process on shutdown

    Would suggest cleaning up running apps and services -Autoruns, StartupMonitor,HighjackThis,
    Malware Scan - Malwarebytes,ADWcleaner, Combofix

    PC Keeps Shutting down by itself

    Thanks Dalchina. The PC shuts down abruptly in that it says it is shutting down and it shuts down. It seems like it is performing a good shut down. The problem is getting it restarted. I am typing this on a different machine as I cannot get the desktop to start up again. It will get to various points, ie the login screen, I get past the login in screen and then it shuts down. As of right now, when it shuts down, it then goes into the loop I found it in yesterday. It keeps trying to start up but there is no post and the machine goes dead and then a few seconds later, it tries to power up. Annoying. I will try your suggestions if I can get it to start up again. I have not run any of the tests you suggested. I did do a reset when I had it up and running for about 30 minutes and shortly after the reset, it shut down and then started looping... trying to start, powering down, over and over. I have not made any changes to RAM. I did remove the two RAM sticks and then reseat them. When I replaced them, I swapped them. That should not matter as they are both 4Gb sticks. I have had issues with this PC. The power supply died a few months ago and I had it replaced by a technician. It was running fine until the past couple of days. I am not over clocking Is there a program that will create a boot disk with the OS on it? I wan to give that a try.
