Hello to all Digit readers, I have been a great fan of this magazine since the last 5 years and Digit teached me many things over the years. However one strange problem has affected me of late and am optimistic digit readers can help me solve this problem.
I am also confused about the problem, i.e. if its related to hardware/software, so just decided it to post here.
This problem has been lingering for a long time (about an year) and I have also tried to derive conclusions about it and tried remedies but all my efforts have gone in vain. Let me specify my PC Config first:
Pentium4 2.66 GHz Processor
MSI PM8M2-V Motherboard
160GB Seagate HDD
512 DDR2 RAM
GeforceGraphics Card 128MB (dont remember the version).
Problem is all of a sudden without any warning my PC gets shut down! Yeah its not restart but shut down. I checked the power cords, power supply etc and they are perfectly alright, again this problem does not happen consistently but at periodic intervals which can be even after a month.
I changed the RAM problem persists, formatted, checked for viruses, but nothing solved it.
Recently I noticed when am online and am viewing sites which have flash animations like the ones which allow playing online games for instance, PC gets shut down. Then again if I keep it on with the BIOS screen it wont shut down.
While installing fresh Windows (XP) during the process when the drviers get loaded it shuts down too.
I am all at sea, friends please help me out! Maybe I could not describe each aspects in details, the post is also getting lengthy, I am ready to answer whatever other things you want to know but it would be great if you could eliminate this disturbing problem!
