Ok my computer will sometimes just shut down out of no were but then it just boots back up. It never used to do this until the last few days. When it shuts off it goes a blue screen with white letters and numbers but it blinks so fast i cant see what any of it says. Any ideas? I dont know what it is?
 
What are you doing when it shuts down?
Is it the same thing every time?
Is it slowing down or showing signs of over heating?
 
I'm just on msn, and surfin the internet, o ya and updatin world of warcraft it seems to only do it when i'm updating WOW but i dont remember exactly. Nothings overheating from what i can see. Cpu cores are about 41*C. HD 29*C. CPu 32*C, GPU 52*C.
 
In your bios, check to see if your computer is set to restart upon power failure, if it is uncheck that, and if it does it again and does not restart, its most likely your powersupply.
 
Yeah those temperatures seems normal, it might be your system crashing, so I suggest you turn off automatic restarts. You can do this in the system properties windows, just nagivate to the debugging tab and uncheck the box. That way you get the blue screen of death which should give you a code to explain why Windows has been brought to its knees.

Where do i do this at? I dont see a dubugging tab....
 
pc pimp what happened was a BSoD. it could be a bad power supply as others have said...to find out what you do is:
1. start
2. control panel
3. system properties or system
4. Advanced tab
5. Look at the last option, something about power failures..debugging and stuff
6. click
 
Well i really dont think its that because it doesnt do it anymore, just when i'm updating World of Warcraft for some reason...
