Computer shutdown and start itself
Recently, my computer will shutdown itself in a random time inside
windows XP. Sometimes it works a week, sometime few minutes, then shutdown. The weird thing is it will start itself in a random time too (just like somebody press the power button). At the beginning, I though the PSU have problem. But this problem still exist after I have replaced my PSU. SO, did anyone have the same experience before? is my motherboard have problem? Any recommendation are welcome. thanks |

Smells like a cold soldered joint or poor socket connection. Faulty electrolytic capacitors are another possibility. Careful use of the Mark I eyeball is recommended. -- Chuck F ) ) Available for consulting/temporary embedded and systems. http://cbfalconer.home.att.net USE worldnet address! |

Any recommendation are welcome. thanks i have the same trouble with my system recently replaced motherboard to an MSI i was reluctant because i had read reviews saying they do just shut off with random restarts it wont be my PSU and if it is then i will have something to say to thermaltake, they are a top end manufacturer of PSU's and when u pay £55 for a 480w psu u expect it to work more than a few months had two fans on full two had trouble with old 350w psu anyhow i bet it is your motherboard if it isnt spyware or malware virus related i have been getting IRQ errors too, i suspect this is my poor quality BT modem, i will be upgrading to an adsl router before long, had one but it too broke think i am not the net too much lol |

Monitor CPU temp, power supply voltage, and compare cpu temp to any cpu-temp-shutdown setting in the bios or a software monitor program you might be running. I am assuming "shutdown" does mean the system turns off, not resets. If it resets then also look at Window's Event Viewer and disable the reboot on error setting, "automatically restart" http://home.earthlink.net/~lreynol92...utoRestart.gif |
