My computer is a ~FREAK~

LOL!! It has a mind of its own, I swear!! It just shuts off by itself, and its so aggrevating!!

Got to convince DH we need a NEW one...........ughh..lol...

That is aggravating, isn't it??

Mine did that at work a week or two ago. The processor was basically shorting out.

If its still new and under warranty call the manufacturer. They can come out and install the new part.

If it is old, more than 4 years, trash it. Just get a new one.

Power supply, loose wires, the motherboard, windows service settings, or program conficts can cause it to turn off suddenly too. So can viruses. Scan, poke around for problems, if that doesn't fix it open it up and clean out any dust. Check plugs to make sure they're all in tightly. The good news, if it's something minor it's easy to replace, even the motherboard could be if the computer's a couple years old.

I hate tossing out stuff if it still works! Even if I do replace it, you just never know when you'll need a backup comp.
