For what ever reason my computer keeps shutting itself off and I have no idea why. It might be the power supply It's a 380W supply and I'm running Windows Vista. I'll post the other specs for it later after I get done with work.

Jump to PostHave you added in any extra hardware just before this problem started happening?
It sounds as if it could be the power supply however there are any number of reasons as to what the exact problem with it is but most can be solved with a larger/newer PSU.

Running aero under vista causes my PC to generate as much as it did when I played FarCry under XP, causing it to power off
Jump to PostHi Crulex,
Check your processor, if the heatsink is not properly connected, it will cause the processor to overheat, and shutdown u'r computer.. or you might have installed some software that causes your system to shutdown..hope this help..
Jump to Posthi crulex,
I've encountered a problem before, my pc keeps restarting but it works well in safe mode.. i just to uninstall some software and it works fine again..try to uninstall the last software that you load to your pc...it might cause the problem...
