Pc Shuts Off Randomly Please Help!

[Gotmilkz]

Hello everyone, I have a bit of a problem on my hands.

 

So my PC I built last summer has been acting up, this is what it's doing. Ill be doing anything on my PC, playing a game, on reddit, email, anything. Then out of nowhere my PC will freeze for half a second, then just shut off, my fans don’t even come to a stop, and it will turn back on, and boot to the windows screen stating it didn't shut down correctly, I just start it normally, and everything is still there no files lost. It can happen multiple times a day or not for weeks.

 

Do you guys know what is happening?

Please help me out! Is it my Motherboard? Power Supply? Virus?

 

THANKS!!

Really could be anything. Check Event Viewer?

 

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/open-event-viewer#1TC=windows-7

[Gotmilkz]

I will try that when I get home. How does that work will it tell me what happened? Do I do that after it crashes? 

[Jobbe03]

Try event viewer, sounds like your PSU though.

any potentially unstable overclocks?

[Gotmilkz]

This pc is running stock clock, personally to scared to overclock...

Event viewer will log pretty much anything that happens to your PC. Any errors, critical returns, a specific component not starting correctly, files missing, blah blah blah.

Let everyone know what errors/dates and explanations you see. Screen shots would help too.

 

And just a heads up, remember to quote people so they can get an alert that you responded or we'll never know you posted back.

From my experience this random shutdowns are caused by (faulty) RAM. Run memtest overnight

[seiny]

I had a pc once that this same thing, shut off randomly etc. it turned out that the power cable wasn't securly in its place at the back of the psu, lol dumb moment but sometimes the problem is as small as this.

your HSF could be mounted too tight, placing too much pressure on the cpu. I had this problem and it drove me nuts. 1/4 turn on the mouting bolts made it all go away.

 

other than that, sounds like RAM or PSU

So here is the event viewer!

How do I add screen shot?

 

Press Print Screen, paste it into paint, then upload to imgur. That's the only method I really know. I use puush though, so that's cheating.

That's horrifying if RazerComms causes that, haha.

Was this around the time that your computer actually turned off? We need to know a rough time when your computer crashed or we're just guessing which error caused what.

[DamDirtyApe]

So? What can I do?

 

For the RazerComms, the guy did a system restore to a point before it had a previous update.

 

But you should be able to just uninstall RazerComms IF that's causing your crash. But look at my previous post first.

Like I turned it on, was waiting for me to put my password it, then it crashed. That was the time of which it crashed

If your computer is crashing or shutting off that early, but making it past BIOS, I would think it is PSU or a heating issue.

 

You could try a system restore to a date before your computer started acting like this and see if it was a Windows update, a program update or something else that's causing everything to crash.

 

I'd wait to see what some other users have to say, because as far as I know Event 41 error is just caused when your computer shuts off unexpectedly. Which is what's happened. That doesn't tell us why it's shutting off.
