Computer Turns off automatically

[Avinash Kaur]

Hey Guys,

I'm having some problem with my pc configuration, it gets turn off automatically whenever i try to turn on my pc. It even doesn't get boot from the disk drive. I had set it up to boot from BIOS, but it doesn't seems to be working. I even tried to change the settings in the BIOS, but it still get turn off automatically and then turn on again in the normal way. It never happen before, can any one help me out to resolve this issue? Would be grateful to you if any one helps me out.

Thanks .

Actually this sounds more like a power issue from the power supply which is becoming more common with new pentium and AMD chips as well as video cards that now require power connections. First check and make sure all fans including the one on the back of the power supply is working. This will help eliminate an overheating issue. Then go to download website and download a heat/fan monitor program so you can see if you have an overheating issue. Lastly would try disconnecting some items from the power supply to see if it is possibly overloaded or something has a short you can do this one at a time to try and determine if there is a short somewhere. Hope this helps you.

Check your thermal paste or replace cpu cooler could be failing , i m sure there is a failsafe setting on your cpu that when it overheats it shuts down to protect your hardware so check you cpu fan, for example i am using stock standard cooling and my cpu runs at about 40degree Celsius and that is with a maximum load that i could inflict , 100% cpu usage.

1. Heat related issue.

2. Hardware issue or error.

3. Computer virus.

4. Issue with operating system.

5. Other failing hardware
