Computer just shuts off on its own.

nealglen37 · 07-02-2008, 09:53 AM

I have been using my computer, and for some reason for about two months it just shuts off on its own like someone unpluged it. I thought it was a bad power supply, so I put a new one in, the problem is still there. My supply is 350 (what the other one was) should I move up to a 400 supply. It acts like its getting to hot. i am stumped on this. Any help would be appriciated.

Thanks,

You might like to re grease (Thermal) your cpu and heat sink maybe.
