I bought a Cyberpower Gamer Ultra A102 Desktop last MONTH and sent it back to the manufacturer after 4 days of use. The desktop would suddenly shutdown for unexpectedly during normal use and eventually stopped WORKING, so I sent it back in thinking that I had a bad PSU.

I have another PC of the same model and now after only 2 weeks it is displaying the same symptoms. It will just suddenly turn off without warning and sometimes won't even startup all the way.

I'm thinking that the issue is overheating, but I'm not sure. I've been using the thing for the past two weeks without any problems.
The case isn't exactly hot, but it is warm. The fan runs often, but I believe that is because I play some graphically intense games (ex. right now I'm playing Dragon Age Origins).

So is the culprit overheating or could it be some other problem?

System Specs
OS: Windows 7 Professional
Model: Cyberpower Gamer Ultra A102
RAM: 4GB
Video Card: nVIDIA 9800GT
(excluding the video card and OS everything should be the generic stuff that comes with the factory shipped pc, so refer to that if you need any other information)

I'm currently have a house fan running on it through the holes on the side of the case. I'm about to go open the side of the case to SEE if that helps.
Exercise your warranty.Hey There:

I have pretty much the same video c ard as you and similar specs on a system I built myself a bit over 2 yrs ago. I thought I was having overheating issues, but it was actually the PSU (power supply). It wasn't able to keep up w/my system, and would exhibit the same basic problem you mention. I upgraded my cpu cooler, my gpu cooler and my fans to no avail. That's because they were already OK to begin with.

If you play intense games you are stressing all your components, thereby asking them to require large amounts of power from the PSU. It must not only be up to the task BUY 'more than equal to' what is required of it! I spent all that time and $ on extra cooling, and it was the PSU all along.

Cyber makes some really slick PC's, but they must REIGN in costs like all businesses. The PSU is one of the most expensive single components in your machine, and is also the only component that every single chip in your computer relies on to start up and run! Chances are your PSU is the weak link. Just my $.02 worth.
