My computer turns off automatically after few hours

If it is a overheating problem try to remove the dust in the fans, and in the heatsink of the cpu. You can do it by opening the case and putting gently a vacuum cleaner near them. It often solves overheating problems. You should check on the bios the temperatures and see if they are too high before trying this.

Hello sanchet this is checkmail and mine too pc was going through same problem.Mine pc used to be shutting down within some hours than minutes.When contact the vendor he said that its an hardware error.Dur to over use of it moisture is formed after shuting it down, and the hardware is damaged in that process.But still confirm from your pc repair service.There is nothing tuo can do about it.

Welcome to mylot, sanchet. I had the same problem with my IBM laptop a few weeks ago. I took it to my computer friend and he told me that its hardware is damaged and that it will cost a lot of money to get it fixed. Right now, I still keep it and I will get it fixed by a professional computer repairer when I have time in a few more days. I wish you lucky to have the problem of your computer fixed soon. Happy posting.

I have meet this problem ,I think there is much reason about this ,first one ,you should cheak if the electric power is steady , and second one .if you computer have catch the viurs the Third one ,you should check the BIOS .

If you are talking about Desktop then the problem may be that the fan of CPU is not working that is why chip get heated and computer automatically get turned off. Even if the fan is fine the problem may be that there is an option to turn off the computer when the CPU touches a certain temperature. Go to set up and increase that temperature. You will get this option in power management option in setup.

Start you PC in safe mode or you can repairer you XP OS with CD. It me be possible you OS some file is corrupted.

Can I ask if you are using a laptop or a desktop? I had a problem with my laptop a few months ago where it would switch off automatically- the problem was that one of the cooler fans was not working properly and the laptop was overheating and so was switching off to protect itself. Maybe this is what is wrong with yours?

It's happened to me 3 times in all. The first time it was the CPU which had packed up, the 2nd time the fan had broken and the third time the video card had over-heated.

I can think of a couple of things that may be going on. One, it may be getting too hot due to dust and debris inside the modem. Try cleaning that out and maybe using a small fan to help cool the system. Another option that comes to mind is that you may have a virus on your computer. Have you run a complete virus scan lately? Why not try that too. If those thigns don't work, you might want to try to do a complete factory restore on your computer. It sucks having to do that because you ahve to go through and redo everything, but sometimes it helps.

It looks like a hardware failure to me. You may be right that it may have been too heated already that the system fails to sustain itself from running. YOu may also try to check on your UPS or the cables connected to each and every component (if it's a desktop) or the adaptor (if it's a laptop. Better have it checked while it's still early. If it's truly a hardware failure, having everything checked earlier may reduce complications and may prevent your machine from acquiring further errors. Good luck!

Yeah, I think that's because of your hardware problems friend rather than software problems. Please check your important hardware device, including your memory. If the memory are not in the good condition, this kind of problems often appears.

Something like this happend with my notebook. The problem was my motherboard. It's better to change the motherboard. But if you have a desktop pc, change the m.b.
