Funksdead Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 What are you doing, if anything when the PC shuts down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorz Posted August 12, 2010 Author Share Posted August 12, 2010 What are you doing, if anything when the PC shuts down? you mean what i do after my pc shuts down itself?i do nothing than reboot after 15-30 minutes. I have googled it and found that its a problem with power suply or high temperatures and much more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHANTASM Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 lol it's probably overheating trying to run ET. Most pcs shut down when they overheat. Open the case and carefully wipe all the dust off your fan, motherboard, and graphics card. Continued overheating will damage the heat transfer gel used on your CPU. You may need to pry the chip off and put some Arctic Silver on the bottom (don't use too much just a drop) then put it back together again. It's not hard I did it a few months ago on my old pc.

=FlA=Incom!ng* Posted August 12, 2010 Share Posted August 12, 2010 *This is not my PC My pc used to overheat too, the main problem was all the dust that had built up, check to make sure yours doesn't look like this.

My advice is to pop open the side door and just check for dust build up before you overclock your fans just too cool it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Sypher* Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 I got since today the same issue, but the strange thing is that my Norton Antivirus says that my pc is in danger. (The pc shuts down and reboots again by itself, just like a reset) When I run the check scan, it doens't say anything expect that 1 part failed. It has something to do with my auto-updater, while I run update everyday myself, so that can't be the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don´t know for sure, but maybe really some malware has disabled your Norton and shutting it down. Check task manager(CTRL+ALT+DEL)- close all programs and see how many strange\unknown processes you have, do they eat up CPU\RAM? Does Norton really finish updateing? If not most probably malware. lol at this pic:P spidernest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
