[Ham-Computers] Computer shutting itself down

[Loren Moline WA7SKT]

Dave,

I would say either overheated CPU or bad solder joint in the power supply. 
Although it may going through an orderly shutdown which could be from some 
program running in background. Sounds strange alright.

Make sure your CPU fan is runing and heatsink clear of dust.

Anyone have any experience with a computer simply turning itself off
for no apparent reason? I get no error messages, and no warning of any
type. When I turn it back on, it comes on fine, without even going
through chkdisk, as if it was turned off intentionally. This is a
Gateway Pentium IV, 3.4 Ghz unit with 1G of RAM. No other signs of
trouble.

Please respond to dcorio at zitomedia.net instead of via the reflector. I
hate burning good bandwidth for OT stuff.

Thanks in advance
Dave
