Re: Computer turns off on own.

Go to screen saver then power and see af hibernate and turn monior off and such is on.

if not that you may try taking out the heat sink and cpu clean off the old thermal compound and put new on it.

also use this to test your memory.

Re: Computer turns off on own.

It usually shuts down while it is boot up so I don't even have the chance to get to the main screen. If it gets to my window screen, it shuts down before I have a chance to log on.

I use a Power Supply tester to test them but this chart may help you.

It depends, I had an issue like this where my memory was slightly out and had dust in the slot - and it could be an overheating problem -- try getting a hold of another stick of ram and test it out
Good luck!!
