Another random shutdown issue!

mingisdew · 01-21-2009, 12:17 AM

So here's my pickle,
My computer is just shutting off on its own. No blue screen, no error warnings, nothing. It just turns off randomly. Here is what I have done so far:
Virus scan: Clean
Check Disk: Fine
Temp: Cool
Safe Mode: Works fine.
What I was doing when it started: I was using iTunes to convert music from ACC to MP3 and it started. Now it happens 30 sec or so after boot.

Specs:
Win Vista SP1
ASUS P5K Mobo
Intel Core 2 Duo 2.33GHz
4 GB 1066MHz RAM (DDR2)
2x 500GB SATA HDD's
Evga GeForce 8600 GT Vcard

The ram and second HDD are only 3 days old. Not sure what to do but it seems like its a software thing if Safe mode works fine and the scans turned up ok. Any help would be great.

It's a 500W Earthwatts from Antec. It came with my case. Seems like it should be plenty of juice.
