    My computer is a piece of shit

    This thing keeps shutting off at random intervals. Out of nowhere it just looses all power. Maybe a power supply or something, anyone have any ideas.

                  Take the cover off for awhile. If it stops doing it then it's overheating.

                          If it is old, it is probably full of dust, use a vac, if not - it's probably gonna cost a few $$$

                              So that's how they do it! I thought that squeaking was just loose ball bearings on my fan.

                                how to fix it:

                                Maybe your computer is actually overheating make sure the location of the
                                machine is ventilated and, if you think you can manage, screw the thing open
                                to see if the fans are still working and vacuum clean the inside!

                                If that fails you might have to check the bios settings..
                                start your computer and during the black startup screen there are instructions
                                on how to enter the bios (probable the DEL button or a function key)
                                Enter bios setting and adjust the temperature levels that trigger the power down of the machine..

                                Go with the first option first because your machine could be overheating and
                                this happened quite frequently with me: early warning signs your machine is about to die.

                                  My computer had been doing the same exact shit. Turned out to be a piece of fucking shit PNY video card. It would overheat and my computer would shut down. Then it wouldnt reboot for 10-15 minutes then everything would be fine for a few days. Finally the fucking card died, otherwise I'm not sure I would have ever figured out the problem.

                                      Yep. I had to retire my original hamster last week, it was time for an upgrade, the new one was fed steroids for the first 2 months of his life, comp runs like a dream now.

                                        I had a piece of junk, just bought a brand new very powerful machine and it's rebooting automatically. Grrrr. I feel your pain.

                                          could be a few things

                                          power supply
                                          cpu fan
                                          video card
                                          spyware

                                          first get your cpu tested thats easy and the most likely i think.. unless its something you can see like a stopped fan or heat sink is clogged or loose. power fan stopped etc

                                            i've only had this happen one time where it was not a heat issue... it ended up being the power supply. when I took the connection to the mobo off, I saw that 2 pins were burnt up and it was obvious what was causing the power failures

                                                You guys crack me up with your fucked up pc's, just buy a brand new one with a gig of memory and use the old one for an anchor

                                                You can get it ploughing a paddock, you can get it makin some porn sites, matter of fact I've got it now.

                                                For a hard earned thrist, you need a big cold beer.

                                                    That means that something is shorting out

                                                    Motherboard/videocard/memory something is.
