Oh noes!!!! :(:(:(

[DOG LIPS]

My computer keeps shutting down!

Help me Oobie Boobie Ben Doobie, you're my only hope!

 

[Master Chief]

Happened to me too a few days ago, lol. I thought it was a virus but nope. Looked like a ten minute one time thing. But I'm using a laptop. Strangeness.

 

[DOG LIPS]

It does it about 2 out of 5 start-ups, and it did it once after I had been online for about 30 minutes. It usually happens while loading the desktop, just shuts down completely. I ran fraggers and checkers and nipplers, but nada.

I had the same sort of problem last yr and it was cause one of my sticks of ram was currupt. might also be from overheating.

Uh-oh.. I was hugging and kissing all over it.

 

[black_dust]

Were you messing with the insides of it before this problem started? Installing anything new latley?

Nope, and nope. I haven't installed any new programs in a while, and I wasn't messing with the guts. It happened a few times over the last couple of days, and when it does shutdown the light is on and I can't click the restart or power-on button, I have to switch off the power to restart it. It doesn't happen constant, it's like a 2 out of 5 type deal too.

 

[black_dust]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!

Well when it does a simular thing on my pc its normaly because it over heats and shuts down then i have to turn it off at the switch on the power supply the same as you (thankfuly its stopped doing that now)

Maybe if its hot in Texas its taking it out on your computer? I dont really see how it could be a software problem its most likely going to be hardware overheating and tripping it out, or somethings gone/going bad.

 

[DOG LIPS]

The heat thing could very well be an issue as it's now running fine, and it started fine, since it's cool in here now. I'll have to keep it as cold as I can tomorrow afternoon to test it.

pure cold water on it





Let us know how it goes (not the water thing tho )

Sounds like overheating,have you checked your fan is running correctly ? a broken fan gave me this problem last year

Yeah, I just checked, it's running just fine.

 

[Kaleb]

my mate just bought himself a pc that has 9 fans.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

Yeah, I just checked, it's running just fine.

If the fan is working fine, you might want to try using a vacuum cleaner and/or a can of compressed air to clean out any dust bunnies.

A good suggestion, but use only canned air. You run the risk of generating a static or even an electrical shock to your computer components off of a vacuum, which would really FUBAR your system.

Also, if nothing else, you might want to point a fan directly at your system, if you can't immediately get a new fan installed.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

Back when we were poor, 3 guys living in a sweltering shack, this would happen all the time (despite our functioning fan), usually right after we died in Everquest.
Then once summer was over, no problems at all.
I'll bet it's Texas:blazingheat:.

 

[DOG LIPS]

OK, I left it off all day, got it away from the wall and I'm blasting my a/c like a psycho. So far so good, it started up fine, and I'm still online. The fan is running like a champ inside, so hopefully it was just a :blazingheat: issue.

 

[Master Chief]

Yeah. I think that might have actually been what was wrong with mine too, since when I put my wrists on the palm rest thing I think I burned myself. Stupid heat.

 

[Wilhelm-Scream]

I'm blasting my a/c like a psycho.

You need to blast it like a murderous lesbian vampire cannibal-rapist with two heads and teeth like a walrus, man!

But I'm not wearing any pants!!

Just wrap a breezy sheet around yourself, like Ghandi.

Where can I find a nippler?

 

[Kipobe]

Do you happen to have any software like Net Transport or something?

 

[Axid]

What the ****, my mom's computer shows the "starting windows" screen, and then it just restarts.....over and over and over and over
