PC randomly shuts down doesn't come back on with power button. Sometimes will come back on by itself for 10 min then off again
Hi,
I've had this problem ocurring for the past two weeks on this barely one year old modern PC. Basically its been shutting off after 5-10 minutes all by itself and not coming back on if I press the power switch. However, It will sometimes randomly come back on again during the day after a hour or a few hours or sometimes not even come back on by itself without doing anything. When it does come back on it doesn't seem to stay on for more than 10 minutes. and the cycle keeps repeating etc. But no matter how many times I press the power switch it wont come on like this after its switched off by itself. It only seems to come back on when it feels like it lol.
So I've tried a few things. Firstly I sent it back to where it was built last week as its still under warranty. They found no issues with it whatsoever, it was running for 48 hours down there running intense stuff like 3d mark etc. Not once did it go off for them. This makes me completely perplexed as to why its only happening to me??!
I got the pc back from them today and sure enough it still went off by itself about 5-10 minutes after loading Windows 7 and connecting everything back in - shutting down completely and refusing to come back on.
Its not a temperature issue as it has so many fans inside and coretemp says about 30-40 degrees for cpu (i5 3750k) and about the same for single gpu (gtx 670). Its not over clocked etc. Just shuts down randomly when just using net or even if its completely idle. It has a more than adequate psu 750w corsair bronze.
So I really dont know what to do here. The place that built it didnt experience this problem. I've tried taking things out one by one to see if it would eventually come back on but it didn't. Tried taking out both hdd's and having one or the other in there and it wouldnt come on. Minimum connections at the back taking out usb leads etc and made no difference.
Any ideas? I still think its the power supply and maybe they just got lucky that it stayed on for them for two whole days? But this seems kinda doubtful as it doesnt stay on for me for more than 10 minutes when it does come back on (which in itself is rare if its going to come on or not).
