Re: Computer Shuts off Randomly!

Hi,

You're going mad because you are trying to resolve a hardware issue with a
software approach. It won't work. The shutdown is likely self protection
initiated by the motherboard because it has detected and unsafe overheating
condition. Check that the fans are all operating correctly and that the
vents are not clogged by dust. You may need to replace the cpu fan as well.
