If you ever happened to you that your computer shuts down suddenly and frequently, and do not know what to do, you're probably very frustrated by this awkward situation that occurs so everyday, as quiet and all that will change now.
Let's analyze the most common causes why a computer shuts down. What causes this? They are usually problems Processor overheating (CPU), this means that the preventive mechanism (automatic) turn off the computer processor.
But we see the five most common causes that we know today:
- 1. Overheating of a physical component
Processors (microprocessor) Have automated mechanisms to always check their temperature, as is overheating, automatically extinguish the computer in order to prevent further damage.
However, much deeper into this issue, what causes the heat of the processors? Bad ventilation, of course. Maybe the fan (called sink or cooler fan) Is not functioning properly, and is not cooling.
It could be because of the dust that is clogging the fan. The most efficient solution is that you make a fitness to them, wiping them with a vacuum cleaner, brushes and leaving them as if they were new.
Of course, clear that not only is the processor fan might also be the motherboard (motherboard in some countries) that is heating up a lot.
2. Conflicts with some new hardware or damaged
I ask you, my friend: Have you installed any new physical component? "Accelerated video card? TV Capture "? They may have compatibility conflicts. Try removing these new components, to see solved.
And of course it is not always for reasons of hardware Again, could also be because a component in your computer already has problems. What could be done is to verify that a component is damaged, testing it in another.
If you have two RAM modules, try removing one and using the PC to another, and so on. The idea is to discard what causes the problem. Remember that the physical components are very delicate, be careful.
3. The operating system is infected with a virus
I checked with a computer that got me a few days ago. The system was turned off only after a last time, mysteriously. I tried everything, until I tried physical components, the problem remained. What caused this then?
Well, it is possible that a virus has infected your system has been developed with the aim of shutting down or restarting the computer automatically. And you can run it when you start any program or activity specific.
What you can do then is to thoroughly clean your system from any virus is present in it. Soon bring a manual on how to effectively eliminate virus (or trojan) in a system without fail in the attempt
