PC crashing...
46 Answers
Hi guys - I really hope someone can help me here...
For the last couple of months, my PC has been shutting down completely & suddenly.
It occurred to me that it seemed to happen when I was watching something on YouTube - until last night, when I'd watched a clip on mamya's thread successfully & was trying to think of a track to post, when the screen suddenly gave the familiar message "No Signal Received".
I don't recall it happening without YouTube either currently or recently having been used.
On a few occasions, moving the mouse has brought the box back to life, otherwise the ONLY way back in is to power-off at the mains & restart. Both actions lead to the "Windows shut down unexpectedly..." message.
I've run MSE, Spybot & Malwarebytes & appear to be clear of oogly-booglies...
I've checked that my NVIDIA drivers are up to date & that there are no M'soft updates outstanding.
My box is (taken from the "System Information" screen) -
Packard Bell iXtreme M5722 x64
Intel Core2 Quad CPU - Q8300 @ 2.50 GHx, 2499 MHz
Windows 7 Home Premium, Version 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
6 GB RAM
NVIDIA GeForce GT220 1GB
Driver Version - 8.17.12.9610
If you need any more info, I'm happy to provide it, if I know where to find it - fair warning, lol!
As always, thank you for your time & attention,
L-i K

That's the top of a long, identical list - if I've got the wrong stuff, sorry...

It might if the extra processing put it over the top, heatwise.
I beleive I'f tried this in the past http://www.almico.com/sfscreenshots.php. (But the work PC won't allow me to check it properly.) May be worth trying even if just to rule things out.
