Crusher, I have ordered a new power supply , although the one thats installed is running cool to the touch and is in it proper position. Just wondering if a fresh install of Windows 10 might help, your thoughts please.
Thanks
David

Re: Random Shutdowns
That is always a very good option rather than spending money on new hardware. BUT, be sure to make a System Backup before you install a fresh copy of Windows. If the problem continues to occur with a fresh copy of Windows then you can copy your System Backup and proceed with installing new hardware.
For easy backup I recommend the following free program. (you will need a second drive - external or internal)

You're very welcome. Nothing more frustrating then a computer glitch that causes the user to be leery all the time.BadRobot65 wrote:Its been 9 days since the new power supply install and not a lick of trouble.

Lot cheaper than taking it to the store too.
