Computer just cuts off - Help Please
I'm guessing this is the place for this post...
My computer has all of a sudden started to cut off completely when performing certain tasks like copying large amounts of data from cd's to hardrive, playing music, installing software, running anti-virus or adaware, and other things like that. As you might imagine this gets extreamly anoying. Any suggestions are helpfull. Thanks so much! |

nah it wouldn't just start doing that... unless you just like installed a new video card or a hard drive.. OR you just overclocked and you're using too much volatage and you're not stable.. (not a big PSU expert)

right, best bet, if you have an intel, get "intel active monitor" if not, get "everest" both work great but everest has more features!
