The issue I am having has been going on for quite some time. To rectify the situation, I typically do not turn my computer off. I usually am forced to restart it multiple times and get a few BSODs before I get a clean bootup.
Basically I am a dual monitor setup. I keep Firefox open on the smaller monitor and on the main monitor, I used to play World of Warcraft and would leave it at the login screen on that monitor 24/7. However, if I ever was to close the game out of the screen and leave it overnight, the computer would almost always shut down on me. I would wake up the next morning and have to go through the painstaking bootup process. I built the computer myself, but this problem is confusing me. It seems as if, as long as the game is taking up the entire screen, the computer will run normal and stay up...but once that closes, the computer will shut down randomly.
I have noticed some issues during bootup on my motherboard, that could be related. The computer will boot up and whenever it has an issue, these "Phase LED" lights on my motherboard will be lit brightly. There are 6 multicolored lights that light up. Once those lights turn off...the bootup processes becomes normal and everything works. Not sure if that is related to the issue.
I have no idea what is causing my computer to shut down.
