| 1230156 | 2011-09-15 05:47:00 | Shutdown again. No errors. Going to start looking at hardware faults. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1230157 | 2011-09-15 05:51:00 | So it just shutdown, no blue screens? Is automatically restarted unticked? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1230158 | 2011-09-15 06:43:00 | It never restarts itself. Its alls just like someone has turned the power off at the wall. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1230159 | 2011-09-15 06:58:00 | Its either a PSU or mobo prob. It may even be a setting in the BIOS (you may have it on the wrong option somewhere) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1230160 | 2011-09-15 07:06:00 | *always. What am I looking for in the bios? |

| 1230161 | 2011-09-15 19:51:00 | Get some temperature monitoring software perhaps and see what temps you are getting. Speedfan and realtemp are good ones. Sudden shutdown is a feature of many motherboards when the CPU hits unsafe temperatures to prevent damage, but it has the potential to corrupt data and cause other issues as well. |

| 1230162 | 2011-09-15 21:12:00 | And I have read that if a CPU gets too hot too often it can damage it which will mean you will get more shutdowns. | Digby (677) | ||
| 1230163 | 2011-09-16 01:08:00 | I'm doubting it temprature. I can play games for hours on end and the computer has never shutdown during games. Running speed fan. Getting around 38 degrees cpu on idle/explorer. 51 in game. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1230164 | 2011-09-16 01:48:00 | So, what mobo is this happening on?? One of the computers in your sig? And whats the model of the hdd thats youre using? | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 1230165 | 2011-09-16 02:42:00 | Computer in my sig the one with the 460GTX. HDD is a seagate barracuda 7200rpm drive. Motherboard is a Asus M4N68T (the one that doesn't support the x6 phenoms). I just rewired everything inside to check that I wasnt a loose wire. Running a prime95 now. Get a message from windows saying that the gpu driver kernel failed or something (test has been running for 2mins and have got the message twice). Does prime95 even do anything to the gpu? main purpose of running the test was to check if it was the cpu... | icow (15313) | ||
