Windows 10: Windows 10 shuts down randomly but computer is still running.

Hi all!I've built my own computer last year 2020 mainly for gaming and it's been great to me, until this past week. I have been running into this problem where I am playing games online and suddenly I lose connection on my video, keyboard, and sound. It seems like it was a full shutdown however, the computer is still fully up and running with the cpu water cooler running and all other fans to keep the tower cool. My only temporary solution to this is to power down my power supply, wait a minute or two to turn it back on and wait for the proper boot up sequence to windows 10. If any one knows o

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.

 

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 *Mad

One suggestion was to replace the RAM.

Any suggestions on how to repair my computer?
