I’m sure most of that list will have diddly to do with my problem, but just in case it’s pretty much all there.
For the last week I’ve been getting sudden shutdowns. I originally thought it may have been from Empires Dawn of the Modern World (game) because that’s usually when it shuts off. But it has happened several times today when I wasn’t in the game. Although, everytime I _do_ play the game, it does shutdown.
There’s no set amount of time before it shuts down, it’s completely random and it’s a complete shut down. Straight to power off. No warning, just poof! my PC has turned off.
I’ve run NAV and the system is clean, I’ve run Ad Aware and the system is reported as clean there too. I’ve changed as many options in XP that are Power Management related. I’ve gone into the BIOS and changed all the options there too. The system is still powering off without warning and still at random.
BTW, the majority of these components were purchased Nov/Dec of 2004 so I don’t think hardware should be much of an issue, as I’ve said.. This has just started this week.
Any ideas?
