  1. Random PC Shutdown


    Since about two to two and a half weeks ago, my PC has had the issue of randomly shutting down.
    This happens entirely at random, seemingly regardless of what I am doing or not doing. I had it shut down while playing games, browsing, watching movies etc.
    It has been shutting down at random time intervals, sometimes hours pass without any incidents, then it may happen 2 times within 5 minutes.

    The shut down happens as follows: My screens go black from one second to the other, all devices plugged into my PC power down and I hear my PC shut down entirely.
    About two seconds of silence.
    My PC will boot up again, as if nothing had happened and I do not get any sort of error message at any given time.

    So far I have tried different things, however what seemingly helped best was reinstalling windows with the option of deleting all apps and files.
    This left me with about a day and a half with no incidents.

    It also seems that the longer time progresses, the more often the shut downs are.

    :)

    • Can you tell us what were the troubleshooting steps that you have done so far?
    • About the random shutdown, is this concern happening prior to the update?

  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
