Does it do it without warning and just shut off like if you were to unplug it? If so probably the power Supply.

Another possibility is CPU heating trouble.
Turns off without warning as a safety measure for the CPU.


Usually its just that it needs a new coat of the thermal paste, but it could be non-working heat sinks too.

Aye but judging by the temps he posted and the type of cpu he has I am skeptical its over heating.

Check the event log, see if anything shows up.

Well to be sure, When has the comp shut down?

If during a CPU intensive situation it could potentially heat up enough to show problems.

But yea, if its just doing normal-low profile things then it probably be a PSU problem.

Sounds like a virus to me, but of course it's just a guess

lol at the ad (if more people can see it) "thermal management experts" and a picture featuring several cpu cooler fans.

I´d not worry that much if it doesn´t happen again. I had a similar problem in the past, twice. once was the power button being in short. And the other required the mobo to be replaced.
