Computer Turning Off Randomly

[Mario]

What the fuck... haha my desktop has been just cutting off randomly. I pull the plug for a couple mins and it'll turn back on... it seems like a bad ground or something. Anyone have this happened? I've unplugged pretty much everything and it's still doing it.... argh.

Only one thing comes to mind when you describe this situation....

i've had bad memory do that before as well. But if it literally just shuts off and not blue screens etc... check your power supply or try a diff power sup, and look at the connectors to the MB.

power supply or mother board... my laptop has the same problem and it was the motherboard.,

Mario, if you wanna test the power supply, I have a brand new micro ATX you're welcome to use.

Aracheon that sounds great man. Plus you needa swing by and check out the apartment. ;)

[LeonZ]

You probably have blown capacitors on the mobo :D. Or overheating due to power supply failure or CPU fan.

[Mario]

No blown caps.... power supply???

[Nightfall]

Or overheating due to power supply failure or CPU fan.
:werd:

That's always the first thing I check for when dealing with random reboots.

I bet something is wrong with it.

[Seved]

I had the same problem it was my power supply you should try that

Thanks to EVERYONE for their suggestions! The power supply was indeed bad. I spent 2 hours sleeving this damn thing. Oh well... major thanks to Aracheon for letting me loan this one!!!

[Aracheon]

Not a problem. :)
