Windows Forum / Windows XP / Performance and Maintainance / April 2008XP Home Edition+sp1....My PC keeps shutting down/crashing.
My pc keeps shutting down after about 1/2 hour of use'with games/watching downloaded videos etc. I have Uniblue Powersuite installed, Registry Booster2/ SpeedUpMyPC and SpyEraser, and it says that everything is a-ok. I have run various anti spy progs,various registry fixers too,but nothing shows up. The pC just crashes,no warning,no advisory window....nothing!!!. I'm at my wits end with this. Can anyone tell me what to look for, and how to correct this problem. thanks. > My pc keeps shutting down after about 1/2 hour of use'with games/watching > downloaded videos etc. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Can anyone tell me what to look for, and how to correct this problem. > thanks. You didn't say what OS/ Start - run - msconfig - ucheck Whichever is the latest programme you installed. Note: this doesn't uninstall, it just stops it from running at start-up In Rotation uncheck all unnecessary startup programmes... add them back one by one and wait to see which is the cause. Personally I use Winpatrol www.winpatrol.com PS do be careful to only download it from the above. Cheers Tommy The O/S information is in the subject. : You didn't say what OS/ : [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] : Cheers : Tommy "Tom [Pepper] Willett" < > The O/S information is in the subject. > : You didn't say what OS/ Bugger :-)) Tommy Okay all the better - its a pure devil trying this in Vista. PS why are you not running XP sp2. Run a google for SP 3 also. Ummm and do a backup before d/l'ing any updates/ Cheers Tommy > My pc keeps shutting down after about 1/2 hour of use'with games/watching > downloaded videos etc. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Can anyone tell me what to look for, and how to correct this problem. > thanks. My initial reaction is that one or more components are getting too hot. Jim Sometimes, the simplest fix is often overlooked because everyone is looking for something more complicated, so I must ask: How old is your computer and have you ever taken the cover off the cpu housing and blown the dust out of it? Is the CPU located where it has good ventilation to keep it from overheating? > My pc keeps shutting down after about 1/2 hour of use'with games/watching > downloaded videos etc. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Can anyone tell me what to look for, and how to correct this problem. > thanks. > My pc keeps shutting down after about 1/2 hour of use'with games/watching > downloaded videos etc. [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Can anyone tell me what to look for, and how to correct this problem. > thanks. |
