I recently purchased a brand new PC and it frequently shuts down.
I own a brand new $2,000 pc. It frequently shuts off. I'm running it with basic applications like excel, simple 2D autocad without rendering, and google earth. After about 30 minutes or an hour it becomes extremely slow and starts lagging. Then after roughly 3-4 minutes it just turns off without warning or restarting. What could be causing this? The temperatures are normal, drivers are working, updates are current, and stress tests passed. I'm unsure what's behind the issue.
