After weeks of random shutdowns on my PC and searching forum after forum, I replaced my Power Suppy today (previously 300w) with a brand new 600w unit. I'm still getting random shutdowns. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Could be a thermal underclocking shutdown problem.
Next time it shuts down, feel the heatsink and see how hot it is. Then check temp in BIOS.

Maybe its a faulty temp sensor.

When did you last run a spyware and virus check?

There are viruses/spyware that do this too. Most that I know of are caught by (not always removed by), Ad-Aware. Do a scan its free to download.

Sorry, I also posted this in the CPU forum.

Thread here.

Thanks for the input, tho! Happy holidays to everyone.
