Post by: paulhouk03 on July 01, 2012, 07:00:06 PM
My pc keeps switching itself off

I have only Been playing diablo but for quite a long time


When I leave the house i leave my pc on

Is it just over heating?

I gave it a brief clean as it is dusty as fk

What else could the problem be?


But it still switchs off:(

Pc is about 3-4 years old

fan not running correctly? - is it very noisy at start up?

Pc's will shut down to prevent meltdown

Make sure you have no Trophies sitting on top or blocking the vents.

Mine did that a whlle back. I adjusted where the laptop sat to open up the fan abit, as it seems noisy and it always came back on after 15-20 mins which lead me to believe the fan was over heating.

Keep it free of dust too now, didn't before!

How easy is it to open up and get to it properly? As I just brush the back of the laptop of dust, it prob needs a good clean inside.

Anyone can do or needs to get someone proper

My reading comprehension might be rubbish, but is this a laptop, or a big desktop PC?

3-4 years old is pretty old for a computer, if your grinding 180s on it I would definitely suggest buying a new one.

PS I no very little about computers.
