I've been having an issue that started today with my desktop, I'm really stumped and can't find the issue. My desktop shuts itself off thirty minutes after start up, I've been running a stop watch and it happens like clock work. I'm pretty positive it's not my hardware, but just to be sure I tore down my computer, re-seated the cpu cooler, and checked for loose connections. My temperatures are all normal sitting at just below 38 degrees Celsius and I've been monitoring them before it shuts down. So I'm guessing this is software related, I've ran MalwareBytes and Avast scans and nothing suspicious. I also used CCleaner. Any suggestions on what I should look for?

It's not wanting to boot into safe mode turning off, it just shuts down as if you held the power button down. My power supply is a Corsair AX760i. Not sure about the UPS, so don't think so.

Power options are normal as always, nothing changed. I'm not sure what I'm looking for in Task Scheduler but nothing seems unusual out of what's listed.

You could also check the Event Viewer logs to see if that contains any clues as to why the machine shut down.

Start->Control Panel->System and Security->Administrative Tools->Event Viewer->Windows Logs->System

Look for anything that happened around the time of the last shutdown event.

Okay, well in the Windows log the same three things happen before every crash, something about File System Filter. I'm looking each one up right now to see if they could be causing some type of error.

On Avast forums it's saying two of these filters cause BSOD, but I'm not getting a BSOD. I've uninstalled Avast for the time being and going to see if it helped anything just yet. I've got eight minutes till next shut down happens.

If Avast wasn't causing the issue, try going to "System Properties" > "Startup and Recovery" and uncheck "Automatically restart" under "System Failure" section.

This will allow you to see if it's blue screening or not. Sometimes, when Windows blue screens, it doesn't actually flash the blue screen on the screen before the computer restarts. This will force Windows to display the blue screen. (unless it's an over heating issue).

I'm kind of confused now, my computer will shut down after thirty minutes when I just load to my bios as well. Anyone know what this means? This literally happens thirty minutes on the dot after I hit the power button.
