hi this is my first post here.
my pc shutdown suddenly without warning when i was using it last
night.
i restarted the computer and i managed to get to desktop but
while it was still loading the startup programs it shutdown
again.
i decided to restart in safe mode. after i pressed enter to
startup in safe mode, it shutdown again while it was starting
up.
i then opened up the casing... cleaned up some dust and checked
the connections. i on the pc again and this time no problem and i
managed to use it for more than an hour. i decided to leave the pc
running through the night to make sure things are back to normal...
running only my antivirus and utorrent.
this morning i woke up and found my pc still alive and i thought
the problem was solved... then i used for like 15 mins it shutdown
again.
recent changes to software:
- updating my antivirus program avast to v4.8
- installing IObit defrag program, which i have since
uninstalled.
no changes to hardware... pc is self assembled about 10 mths
old. running win XP, 2G ram and currently still downloading SP3
when this shyt started. did not experience any slowdown prior to
this.
my guess is either the ram, ps or mobo. any other possibilities?
i hope it is jus a case of faulty ram.. going back home to test
them tonight.
i hope this is detailed enough and thanks for the help!
