My wife's computer began randomly shutting off a couple of days ago. Sometimes it would allow her to turn it back on right away, and other times it just stayed dead for 5-10 minutes before we could turn it back on again.
I'm going to troubleshoot when I get home later today. I have a very small list of things I can think of and thought I'd see if there were any suggestions other people have as to what I should check.
Things I can think of checking:
- psu connection
- temp of cpu and gpu
She has an i7 cpu with an evga mobo and a gtx580 gpu. psu is 750. And her system has run perfectly ever since we built it about a year ago.
She said she thought she heard a surge just before it turned off the first time. I didn't hear it so I don't know if it was a power sounding surge, fan, or something else.
Any advice appreciated and cheers!
