Overheating either on the CPU (reseating heatsink), or perhaps the power supply as you say.
we had the first and my son got some gloop and reseated the heatsink. We recorded the temp before and after and that's how we determined it. I can't remember the program but there are some free ones that record the temp and that might give you a log of it. regards, Preet, in Auckland NZ On 9 June 2016 at 19:54, Greg Keogh <gfke...@gmail.com> wrote: > Folks, my 5 month old hand-built PC has developed a serious problem where > it randomly just switches itself off, no warning, just instant off.
