Pc has mind of it's own, please help...I have never had a problem with this pc before now  It has started having a mind of it's own and I am not impressed. It's only 18mths old  I'm surfing away, or doing something else, and all of a sudden *without any warning what so ever* the whole computer turns itself off! Have to start the system all up again, after a lil while, same thing *without warning* Please, does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with it...the mind boggles here

Does it just die completely?? My last PC went to this weird kind of blue screen and then after a while switched itself off. Also used to blow fuses like no tomorrow!! It does sound like something quite serious . . . just to be on the safe side I'd back up all images/files if I were you. If it crashes irretrievably you may either loose all your information or have to pay quite a lot to have it retrieved of the hard disk (I speak from experience here . . . ).Other than that, no real suggestions - sorry! |

Dont want to worry you but it sounds like a virus. We had one exactly like that a few years ago and the only thing we could do was get another pc. We did try to get it "fixed" a few times. What firewall, anti spyware ect do you run? |

My first computer did this. So frustrating!  I'm afraid it was terminal - the motherboard, maybe? Don't remember. Anyway, it wsn't fixable. Agree with Yola - get your precious things backed up and see if the guarantee still holds. |

I had that problem a few months back. Took it to a local computer shop and they had to build me a new system (custom built). Fortunately it had another month's warranty so I didn't have to pay anything. Was really annoying tho cos I was without a PC for 3 days  |

No. no funny screen or anything, just literally switches off and I have to re-start the system again. I have a good quality anti-virus and have scanned the whole system and there's nothing  It hasn't done it at all today, but saying that it may do it 5 times tomorrow it seriously does what it likes  Looks like I will have to call someone out to look at it..... |

I have a Mac, which isn't virus prone, but sometimes here on Catsey it just "locks up" and nothing will get it to move, so just log off, wait a few minutes and log back on and everything works OK again...don't understand why...  |
