This has been happening to me recently. I will be on my computer and all the sudden it just turns off. I have plenty of RAM and plenty of HD space. Usually when I start to do a lot of things it shuts off. For example: iTunes open, Photoshop open, Mozilla open. Then my pc just crashed. It NEVER used to do this. I went through my system processes and noticed a strange program or something running called ita.exe. I think its some sort of sypware I read on google. Does this have something to do with it? and once again im pretty sure its not my RAM or HD space.
Well it could be spyware but it could be simply overheating or your PSU ( Power supply unit ) isnt powerfull enough to handle your computer. I used to expierence similar porblem on my old computer when i upgraded its RAM and GFX card, then i solved it by upgrading to better PSU.
dont ever put ur pc on the ground fear, the static from carpet can fry computer parts any way, its probly a trojan, search google for edwido, run it if ur comp shuts off while ur running it, try running in safe mode
Check to see if your fan is working properly, my laptop had a similar problem and it turns out that it kept on shutting off due to overheating.
open the side panel to your case and make sure your fans are running and look for a prgram that tells you the Temps of your comp.
Well the only explenation I can come up with is that your computer is full of Spyware. I also had this problem like a year ago.
even the "free sites" give u spyware i dont have carpet oak flooring proper job. pc is fine on the ground.
What type of a computer is it? PC or a laptop? Because my laptop had the same problem and it would just randomly shut off. I figured after feeling how hot it was, that it simply was just overheated. I also noticed that my fan was being blocked by the table it was on because i lost the little bumber things that hold up the laptop. I put two books under it to hold it up and have the fan run without being blocked thinking that would solve my problem, but my dad and my friends say its a stupid idea and that the books wouldn't help the fan run better or w/e. However, it's never randomly shut off after that so I would say that my plan worked .
That's the EXACT problem I had; and my solution was the same. :lol: Check to see where your fan is placed because it may be working but if the fan is against a wall for example, it may be overheating.
