Windows Forum / Windows Vista / Hardware / January 2008PC shuts off at random
My computer just powers off wothout warning sometimes then won't turn on again for several minutes. The computer hasn't been overheating or even under heavy load when it happens. Which piece of hardware is the cause of my trouble so that I can replace it? The motherboard is an ABIT IS7, the PSU is a Coolmax 450W, and the CPU is a 2.8GHz P4 Northwood. Or is the problem with something else? Any suggestions on how to narrow it down would be appreciated.

My CPU typically runs at 42C (108 F) and my system at 39C (103 F). > What temperatures are you taking? > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > something else?

Is there a way to check those things? > Do you have any way to check on memory and the gpu? > [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > >> > something else?

I will leave that question to someone who is more expert at taking these temps since it may involve placing sensors in critical areas. I just thought maybe you were already set up to take those readings. > Actually, no I don't. Is there a way to check those things? > [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] >> >> > something else?
