@sc hm, that does sound more like a heat issue. check the vents for dust? blast that shit with some canned air if you have any!
@hvee yeah to be fair it has been a while since i've done that. not sure if i have any canned air around but i'll definitely dust my pc soon. thanks!
@hvee i will try and replace the surge protector too. i have a better spare that i have in the closet but haven't used for whatever reason
@hvee i mean yeah my surge protector is kind of old but the pc turning off doesn't happen very much!! it only seems to happen when i kinda strain my cpu (eg playing a video game or having photoshop open for two hours) so. i dunno im just confused
