    Why does my computer shut down randomly?


    Hiya, my pc has been shutting down randomly since 2017, when I got the pc. I've been trying to fix it for about a year, and nothing has worked. I've done all the major things such as:

    • Change services
    • changed PSU
    • changed power options
    • Changed and re-downloaded drivers
    • Uninstall firewalls and reinstall

    Basically a lot of things. So i was wondering if anyone else has this problem, it's not a blue screen, the computer will just lose power as the keyboard and mouse turn off. In the event viewer the closet thing I can get are these errors:

    The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

    The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID

    Upon further inspection, my computer shut down at 10:57:55, however there is this code:

    The previous system shutdown at 10:22:44 on ‎04/‎04/‎2020 was unexpected.

    But my computer didn't restart?

    Also I have reinstalled widows twice now, and that hasn't fixed it, and I've made sure it isn't a hardware issue

    Any ideas?

    :)

  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.

    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.
