I was uploading a picture on to imgur and then my computer just shut down and now it wont turn on... i try the button in the from to get to to turn on. And i even unplugged the main power cable in the back, it did turn on for a minuet when i did that... i went to bring up windows media and then the computer just shut down again and wont turn back on. What in the fucks going on.. its not even that old, maybe a year or so.
any ideas?

power supply could be going out or even your breaker.. try a different outlet in a different room see if it changes

cant be that, my amp thats plugged into the same power bar was still on when the computer shut off

So for some reason its working now... why the hell did it just shut off.

possible that your computer overheated?
have u checked for dust buildup? :3

cuz power supply could be dyin

and as I said, breaker could be too.. computers will shot off with any voltage change pretty much so they don't hurt themselves



if it over heated it wouldn't stay off and not start up

but I guess it's maybe possible.. he has something wrong if so

There was a new breaker box put into this house last year, so its not that.
I took the computer apart and felt around a bit, one thing was really hot.. i dunno what it is. So i plugged the computer in and the fan wasent working.
I moved it with my finger to get it spinning and now its working. The thing that was hot is cooling off... Thats weird tho, the fucking computer isnt even that old and shits busting up already. Damn chinese bullshit. Ill have to buy a new fan for it i guess.

yea.. pro tip, because something is new doesn't mean it isn't broken / dead already

also, the fan wasn't getting to move because it didn't have enough amps to get started.. meaning something is blocking it and making it hard to move OR the cord it's plugged in with is messed up somehow.. etc etc

so I'd clean it out, compressed air or soemthing

If your machine just randomly turned off and would not turn back on, then you probably need to purchase the following:

New Cooling System
New Power Supply

If your machine makes a lot of noise, then it's working really hard and you should think about upgrading your gear a bit to prevent any more future overheating. This happens usually when you are running multiple applications and programs at the same time and your machine cannot handle the heat that all of your components are creating and shuts down. If you try to power it on, it won't because it's still very hot and it takes around ten minutes to get it running again. Just be careful and I recommend upgrading your gear once again. GL man.

Thanks for your +1
