We know it's not your GPU, otherwise the system would probably have crashed on just one loop at extreme.BadRobot65 wrote:Here are the results from the Benchmark on my computer.

Re: Random Shutdowns
Well my computer ran for 2 days without shutting down, after running the Malware program. But today it shut down after being on for over 3 hrs. Still a puzzle .
Re: Random Shutdowns
Are we talking "powered off"? I wonder if this is nothing more than the system going into Hibernation or Sleep modes. Check your Power Options and see when your computer is set to sleep, also check when the monitor is set to sleep.
My preference on my system is "never" allow my monitor or computer to sleep or hibernate. The only time it gets powered off is when I shut it down.

Re: Random Shutdowns
Have you got a surge protector in the wall socket and the PC is plugged into that?
If so try plugging the PC directly into the wall socket temporarily to rule out the surge protector tripping out.

Re: Random Shutdowns
David,
Try this and see if you can find the "mini dump log file"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-mu2xBociw
Don't mind the babbling from the fellow, we just want a log file as he shows.
If you can't open the file to view, just attach the file here. I'll take a look at it.
If you can open it please take a screenshot and attach it here.
On an outside note. Can you see if you have your virus scanner set to scan when idle? And to shut down after scan?

Re: Random Shutdowns
Crusher what I mean about powering off it just shuts down like the power button was pressed, it does not reboot on its self I have to press the power button to get it back running, My power setting or set to never shutdown or sleep.

Re: Random Shutdowns
If you are able to do this on your own, I would switch out the Power Supply with a similar one. The power supply you currently have could be overheating or simply be defective.BadRobot65 wrote:Crusher what I mean about powering off it just shuts down like the power button was pressed, it does not reboot on its self I have to press the power button to get it back running, My power setting or set to never shutdown or sleep.
Sometimes DIY builders put the Power Supply upside down in their cases. If the fan is not pointed outward through the case ventilation opening or facing downward or upward to pull or push air from the inside of the case , the Power Supply (PSU) will definitely overheat.
In modern ATX MID Tower cases the PSU is mounted on the bottom of the case. The intake fan faces the floor and outtake faces the back of the case.
