Alright my family computer has been acting up lately. Last week the RAM went bad so i replaced that. Now this week it has been shutting off randomly for the past few days. I do not have enough time to run a virus scan all the way through and I have been told that these are the symptoms of a power supply going bad. So i went and picked up andother power supply and threw it in, and unfortunetly it didn't fix anything.
It doesn't pop up with a window counting down til the shut down...it will just randomly do it. It can be after 15 min of run time or even only a few seconds. I don't know if there are any viruses with these symptoms...or it could be a hardware problem. The only things left that can be causing this is the video card, processor, or motherboard.
Anything helps guys...if i don't get any solutions here i'm going to take it apart and troubleshoot to see if it is the hardware causing this problem.
Here are some breif specs:
P4 2.0 Ghz 533 FSB
Kingston 512MB DDR400
Intel D845BG Mobo
ATI Radion 9200 Video Card
WD 80GB HD
