I don't know if you guys remember me telling you about how my computer was completely f*cked, but I did. Then I asked people to help me find a nice computer. Now I realize that it's gonna cost me too much money to just go get a brand new computer.

But besides that, I need help.
Whenever my computer starts up, it initiates some programs, and then randomly shuts off without warning me. I know this is a hardware problem, so I tried taking the side off my case to get some ventilation to the inside, but that didn't help. So now my computer is completely useless. Anybody got any ideas on how to help my situation?

Have you ever cleaned your computer you would be amazed how much dust you pull out your fans and graphic cards, have you started in safe mode for when it boots back up again, you can start up some applications yourself to prevent it from turning off but for some reason i cannot remember what i use to do it's been so long since i've had that problem.

Any ideas on how to do that?
(Yeah, I"m not much of a "Hardware" person)

Is it bluescreening?


How do you know it's not part of the problem if you can't find a soloution yourself, and no it's not blue screening he said it was rebooting without his authorization so he's better checking it in safe mode first and looking about for some problems.

I do bellieve you forgot about that option. Sometimes it reboots so fast you cannot even see the bluescreen.

Anything else you would like to inform me of?

No, actually, what happens (Oh, by the way, I'm typing from my little brother's computer) what happens is it literally just shuts off. It doesn't automatically boot up and it doesn't show me a blue screen. When I press the button to restart it, it acts like nothing is wrong.

or COP. do you have any way of reading the cpu/mb temps?

or COP. do you have any way of reading the cpu/mb temps?It already would have crashed though if it was a CPU/MOBO temp problem.

By the way Napalm cleaning the dust out your fans and graphic cards can cool down your temp so thats why that was relevant.
