Custom Built PC Random Shutoff

**Bharata** · 09-09-2010

i have a custom built PC which has some problems from last few days. Initially it was used by my brother and it was working fine but later on when he passed it over to me from that time it is giving lot of disturbances to me . A man who assembled it fr has no idea regarding the fans of the machine. I on myself fixed it up. But now it is shutting off at alternate periods. I don't know why this is happening please help.

This may be the problem due over heating in the CPU. Please take care that the temperature of your system remains stable which will help the CPU to run fast without resistance. If the the temperature is normal than check out with the mother boards Bios set up's setting. And if you find any errors than clear it or any wrong setting has been saved than correct it.

Such Types of Problem normally caused due to the overheating of the machine. Just try to keep your machine temperature as stable as possible. To do this just check out whether the fans are working properly or not. Overheating is definitely a concern to overcome it download a software called "Speed fan". which will help to maintain the temperature of the CPU. Always see to it that the normal temperature is sits between 30-70 degrees Celsius.

I believe that it is your power supply problem. And turning on the computer like this could damage your CPU - which may have already been damaged. Just checkout your power supply how it works and then proceed. Your SMPS may also have been affected.
