hey question

does ANYONE have any idea why my pc would be shutting off randomly????? it doesn't give me a bsod or anything. it just. shuts off.

it's probably a cpu overheat thing but i can't find anything about overheating in the windows event viewer 🤔​

@sc intermittent power issues? do you keep it on a surge protector? maybe the power cable is on its way out?

@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

@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!
