So as stated above, I had a power outage a couple hours ago and ever since, my computer has shut down three times without any reason whatsoever.I've checked all the temperatures,fans etc. but I really don't know what the problem is.
pls help

Edit:my computer would only last about 10 minutes and then shutdown again,so far it's still working.I think the power outage may have just made my computer trip balls for a little.

Edit 2:My computer started up this morning and it made an extremely loud fan noise,so i shut it off and unplugged it.then i turned it on it's sideand it started working properly.Later on i tried to put it back to normal but every time i tried to start it wouldn't start.So, I started to just push all the wires into place to make sure that there isn't a loose connection,then FINALLY it started in the upright postion.wtf is going on?

Try repairing Windows, it may have been in the middle of an important read/write system thing and then messed up. I also remember getting 3 power cuts over one day years back when I was gaming. I ended up with the HDD finding bad sectors, then more bad sectors and finally failing.

Is your PC just powering off in the middle of operation, or is it shutting down properly? (I assume the former)
