Solve : automatic PC OFF problem?

Answer» HI,

my PC when started in any mode , be it safe mode also, GETS off suddenly after 5-10 min,
can you help me with this?

thank youIf you are comfortable working inside your case, make sure all your fans are working......make sure the fans are clean.......blow out dust with compressed air.......looks like it could be overheating..........or your power supply could be on the way out ..... swap it for a known good unit........ Please remember to touch the metal case before touching components inside so you don't cause ESD....electro-static discharge.Is this a DESK top or laptop?

Do you get any warning messages, beeps, or anything else out of the ordinary before it shuts down?

Have you noticed the com being excessively hot or that any fans aren't RUNNING?
Download, and install SpeedFan: http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php
Post your computer temperatures:



Provide processor info (hold Windows key, and hit Pause/Break key to FIND out).My PC is desktop, I tried my best to clean the fans, but am not that comfortable in manually opening the case and working inside.

Temp 1: 53C
Temp 2:38C
Temp 3: -55C
HD0: 40C
Temp1: 41C

let me know if any problem is there with my PC temperature.

Sometimes SpeedFan's reading are not very clear to read, so....
Download, and install Everest: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html
Expand Computer section in left pane, and click on Sensor. What temperatures are listed there?

Also...
1. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab (Vista: click Advanced system settings).
3. Under Startup and Recovery, click Settings to open the Startup and Recovery dialog box.
4. Clear the Automatically restart check box, and click OK the necessary number of times.
5. Restart your computer for the settings to take effect.

...and...

1. Click Start, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel (Start>Control Panel in Vista).
2. Double-click System.
3. Click (Advanced system settings link in Vista, then --->)the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
4. In the Write debugging information list, click Small memory dump (64k).
I did all the procedures u ask me to do and the temperatures are,

motherboard: 38C
Aux: 95C
Seagate ST380011A :45CIt looks like Temp2 from The SpeedFan is consistent with Everest motherboard temperature, so we can safely assume it is your CPU temp. At 38C, it's little bit on a warmer side, but acceptable.

Keep SpeedFan open, and watch Temp2. Any changes right before the computer shuts off?

We also disabled "restart on error" feature, so, if it's not overheating, you may be able to see some error message, when the computer gets stuck.

If you see any error displayed...

Navigate to: C:\Windows\Minidump folder.
If you see any .dmp files, zip all of them, and attach zipped file to your next reply.
