Random Shutdowns

Post here anything to do with technical issues with computers in general. Don't expect a response but I'm sure people would be happy to try.

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

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.

Lot cheaper than taking it to the store too. :good:
